Also, of course, if Moff wants to go down that route, EoT suddenly becomes a much more important and integrated episode. Not that I didn't feel it was already, but I would love to see it built on and rounded out.
The immediate flaw that occurs to me is, if the Doctor used his name to seal off the Time War, why wouldn't he be more concerned about the Master coming back? I presume the Master would know his real name. And the Doctor sealing off the Time War with his name seems like the sort of thing the Master would know/be able to guess. The Master was certainly interested enough in the Doctor's involvement in the Time War.
Though, if it comes down to it, I am in favor of hand-waving Rusty's continuity if it'll make the right symbolic sense within the current show. I'm sure one could come up with something.
Plus: getting to circle back on EoT wtih River in the Master's spot. Don't tell me you don't want to see that.
