In terms of precendent:
the Wycliffe repo uses namespaces in modulenames. Per copyright owner
rather than repo publisher, but still.
[lang]_[namespace]_[year] is the form of modulenames there.
For reasons David has mentioned - small displays, this is not ideal.
[lang]{year](namespace] or
[lang][abbr][namespace] and
[lang[[abbr][year][namespace] is clearly better. No wasted spaces dt
underscors and the user relevant stuff at the front.
