Jade internally associates the implementation of the characteristic with the
public identifier.  You can use any identifier you choose as the first
argument to declare-characteristic, ie you can use

(declare-characteristic HL "UNREGISTERED::James
Clark//Characteristic::heading-level" 0)

(element H1
  (make paragraph
     HL: 0))

if you want.
