I'll drop a note in the ECT-list that this fact-sheet should be updated.

> Keep it short, less than 10 characters.

The limitation to 10 characters is only there to keep the class-names 
short - but it is no requirement - only a suggestion. It also says:

'Good keys are those which reflect what the extension is about.'

So you can say, that the extension keys should be descriptive and 
somehow self explaining. Your keys are not self explaining but rather 
misleading - as 'com_' could also be the abbreviation for your company.
So I vote for the full name. And if you use the full name - you've 
almost ECT-style naming so that you can use the double underscores as 
well. That 1 more character doesn't really harm - does it?

The benefit will be, that if the changes to the TER get finally done, 
that these extensions also will show up when somebody searches for a 
shop system and commerce (and it's addons) get listet in a convenient way.

Just my opinion.


Btw. it'll be cool if commerce would join ECT. I could think of various 
advantages for commerce - maybe a connector to the upcoming 
party-framework and maybe some other synergies. Just join the mailing list.
