I understood the original CAA idea of naming the intersection was to stop someone at the full length from rolling (you are also meant to give the intersection when clearing for take off from an intersection) rather than to prevent runway incursions.
Interestingly I was corrected by a BMI crew the other night when whilst busy I forgot to put "via" in my clearance to them. They do seem to be adopting the new words.
