I'm sorry for starting this thread now. I think keeping the existing xvp name is the right answer. Many of the existing extensions are simply named after the product initiially defining the extension. We shouldn't try to rename them now. I merely wanted the descriptive text in the spec of the extension to be generic, leaving "xvp" as the name.
