Fields and properties

Name	Type	Description
Element	TTMSFNCLocalizationElement	The collected root being offered as the match. Its own name is the new name the orphaned root would be relinked to.
Score	Double	Overlap coefficient of the two property sets, 0..1: the shared count over the SMALLER of the two, not over their union. Jaccard is wrong for this job. The root being relinked is one that was read back from file, so it holds only what was worth persisting, while the root it is being matched against has usually just been collected from a live form and holds every translatable property that form has. A perfect rename therefore compares a set against a superset of itself, and Jaccard divides by the union - reporting about half for a pair that is in fact a complete match. Dividing by the smaller set asks the question that actually matters: is everything the old form had present on the new one.
Shared	Integer	How many properties the two roots have in common.
SourceCount	Integer	How many properties the root being relinked has. Shared out of this is the honest way to state the match; a bare percentage is not.
