[Typo3-dev] Feedback for naming-convention of typo3 extensions

Hi,

as I also have sometimes to do with the java language, I want to ask if 
there are any arguments not to use such a more structured namespace?

Referring to the extensions of typo3xdev that would mean that an 
extension key could look like

net.sourceforge.typo3xdev.realurl

Ok, the name is a little bit longer ;) but such a reverse domainname as 
successfully used in java for packaging a long time now I think gives 
more flexibility and better structure (in the sense of hierarchy) to the 
naming of extensions specially if a big extension such as the great DAM 
provides several extensions.

domain.dam
domain.dam.file
...

Also the same names could be used several times for different extensions 
if the reverse domain part differs.

just an idea.

cheers sven
