Yes, for each dataset, it goes through the namers until it finds a namer that
works (returns a string rather than a null).
As the catalog generator is crawling, it checks each possible dataset with all
the datasetFilters to see if any of the filters "accept" the current dataset. If
so, the dataset is added to the catalog. The filters are currently not applied
to the directories but perhaps they should be. Once the crawling is done and the
catalog structure is built, the namers are applied to each dataset.

No problem. Hope this is helpful.
