The manual pages append "WN" to the section numbers. There is a Debian patch to
fix this. It will be good to have in our package too.

Not really.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#General_Naming lays
equal, if not more stress, on having consistency across distributions.

That is not a problem.

Not at all.

> I could still rename the package if you still think it is a good thing.

Finally it is going to be yours and your sponsor's call, but I think "wordnet"
is better.
