I think a suffix version, or an abbreviated form, would be very helpful. When trying to understand grid behavior through the WUI I often find myself looking at the first few characters of each ID. Prefixing all of them with a common string would required me to search past the common part to find, which wouldn't be difficult, but would slow me down. A suffix wouldn't matter, and an abbreviated form might be best of all. -- Shawn
