    I believe "GNU Emacs" is used mainly for unambiguous identification
    rather than connecting it with the GNU system - much like "John of
    Gaunt" is used to clarify which John you're talking about rather than to
    associate him with the town of Gent in Belgium.

Yes, exactly.

    This leaves a difficulty when there is no context.  For example, you
    might find this in an overview of editors:

In an overview of editors there will be a place to provide the context
to explain what "Emacs" and "XEmacs" refer to, their history (joint
and separate), etc.
