I still don't understand what complications renaming will introduce.

Cross-references to chapters are already of the form

<ptr target="#DI"/>

and all files online are still named according to the form "DI.html".

So if we rename

DI-PrintDictionaries.xml

to

DI-Dictionaries.xml

to match what's actually used in the div[@type='div1']/head of that 
chapter, what would be the problem?

The advantage is that it makes it easier for us to find the right file 
(based on the name of the chapter).  The only problem I can imagine is 
that it disrupts the version control history, but maybe there's a way to 
mend that in Subversion that I'm not aware of.
