[TYPO3-mvc] naming issue: prefixedExtensionKey vs argumentNamespace vs prefix vs designator

You are right. Should be "... extensionName="MyExt" ..:". The namespace 
of $_GET arguments for a specific plugin is "tx" followed by the 
extension name in lowercase followed by the plugin key (also lowercase).

The extension name in lowercase is the same string as the extension key 
without underscores.

extension key: blog_example
extension name: BlogExample
extension name (lowercase) = extension key (without "_"): blogexample

> pluginKey is wrong also as it's the appendix of classname

The "pluginKey" is meant to be a unique identifyer for a plugin (like 
"_pi1" was). Maybe pluginId would be better. It is not used in class names.

An extension can render several plugins (as before). But there is no 
class representing the plugin anymore. It is only defined by 
configuration. Have a look at ext_localconf.php of the Blog Example and 
the setup.txt.
