Yes, but since the sub project names show up as package names, ***as
a potential user of Excalibur has to keep track of them***, they are
just as bad.

No, and I never thought you would - that would be too confusing, wouldn't
it? But you are a committer, and furthermore you wrote that code.

For someone who isn't a committer, and who has no experience with the code,
having strange package names is as confusing as renaming classes/methods
would be for you.

Like I said, if these names were never ever shown to anyone except those
actually developing Avalon, then I could maybe grudgingly accept the
proposed convention. But they are not. Users, who get some stuff from
Excalibur, some from Cocoon, some from Xerces, etc. etc. will be
exposed to them.

And that will confuse them something terrible, for no good reason.
