Hello

I would like to ask 2 question as user regarding your proposal.

Question 1:
You propose to use the prefix "xul-ext-" which is more generic i guess but
the itself is called "pkg-mozext".
Is that "moz" in the team name for historic reasons? Or is it planed to
rename it "pkg-xul-ext" Team?
It just sounds strange because these two are contradictory to your proposal.

2nd question:
In the good old days (when ever these were) someone like a short sighted
person like me could search via apt or aptitude for *compatible* extentions
to his application.
Now does it mean, that all those xulrunner based apps can make use the same
extensions?
e.g. does ist make sens to use "xul-ext-quotecolors" with iceweasle?

Realy i don't get so please explain a bit more deeply.

regards
