I don't think I ever updated the naming conventions to reflect that decision, 
but I should have.

Gordon, did we ever make a rule about prefixes?  Prefixes are most likely to 
result in capitalization issues like Tink is saying.  I remember we got loudly 
told by the community to remove the FX prefix from the Spark components and use 
namespaces instead.  Did we make that an official part of the naming 
conventions?
