Just to confirm: region ids seldom if ever change, even when a region is
moved. 

Thoughts on a 'region id to region name' service:
This currently requires a DB hit.  We are stingy about DB hits whenever
possible.  It seems like easily cachable data so it probably isn't a
problem, but it probably isn't a completely trivial task either.  As our
webservices infrastructure really gets rolling (it is in its infancy
right now) this sort of thing may actually become extremely easy,
although it would probably fall lower on the priority list than moving
existing data paths to the webservices.  Using the map api probably
isn't that bad of an approach in the mean time.

It is also interesting to think about what the right approach is for
open source features that require some amount of back end work to support.
