They do (I was wrong when I first asserted the above).  Look at the
docs of `modeline-format':

    Template for displaying modeline for current buffer. 
    Each buffer has its own value of this variable. 
    Value may be a string, a symbol or a list or cons cell. 
    For a symbol, its value is used (but it is ignored if t or nil). 
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

NAME is simply used as an element in `modeline-format'.
