Ok, after reading that page, it is clear that modifier-name only works
within the item-list construct. What I had originally read was this: 

http://developer2.akopia.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=icconfig16%2e04

which states only that modifier-name may be used within forms (I
assumed any form).

Does anybody know a way to do this? It doesn't have to be an
item-modifer (no price variation or anything of that nature), it just
has to stick with the item throughout the checkout process the way a
modifier does.
