You won't be able to just push "right" and select the next nameplate to the right of your target once the script loses track of which one is your target, so new selections will have to start from an arbitrary point like the center of the screen.
Yes, you're right, assuming that data is not accessible securely. I bet nameplates are clearly distinguishable outside the restricted environment, but it's not really a big deal if their secure counterparts aren't. Defaulting to the center of the screen when the nameplate goes out of view is still a large improvement over current tab targeting.
