I think neither SUNWksh or SUNWksh88 are good candidates for package
names. Why? Because SUNWksh is unsuited for the old korn shell which
is hopefully being replaced by ksh93 soon (version clash, the same
package may contain different versions of the shell. It'll may also
force ksh93 to choose another package name which may be an ill fated
package name choice, too). SUNWksh88 is unsuited because Sun ksh is
not compatible to ksh88. Based on the discussion around the oksh name
I would propose calling the package SUNWoldksh or SUNWoksh.
