 * The problem
 * Normal maps do not have letters written on them. The interim solution used was seemingly to write random letters on the nodes and use those letters to refer to the nodes. The problem was that the developers did actually assign all nodes letters in the api call Next, and these do NOT correspond to the letters we're using.


 * Proposed solution 1
 * Change names of all the node letters in normal maps to match their values in the API.


 * Problem with solution 1
 * Since we've been using the letters for some time, this may lead to confusion between someone referring to the legacy system and someone using the corrected system.


 * Proposed solution 2
 * Leave letters intact, but leave notes in each node describing which API value describes that node.


 * Problem with solution 2
 * This renders API directly unreadable, so anyone wishing to read the API will need to refer to the respective map pages to make any sense of the numbers.

I'm personally leaning towards the second solution since the abovementioned problem is not something I'd want to face. So far, nobody has ever mentioned this mismatch issue.

I want feedback on which would be better before making any changes to avoid pointless edit warring.
