Thanks for the feedback!  Please find attached the revised patch, based
on what you suggested:

    0001-Implement-auto-renaming-scheme-for-EWW-buffers-simple.patch

Because it may be useful for your consideration, there also exists the
more complex approach that I alluded to earlier ("complex" may be an
exaggeration, but still).  Attached as well and also based on your
feedback.
