Hmm..  when I wrote code to directly talk to the banks we had to send it
and the name would cause problems if it didnt match.  This was not to a
gateway this was software for the gateways.  And now with fraud concerns
being higher I would assume its more critical.  Keep in mind this is not
for transactions where the card is present, on those the physical aspect
of the card is used (however secure that is supposed to be).
