[TYPO3-mvc] Table Naming Conventions in Extbase

[Roland]

hi everybody,

i am just discussing the table naming conventions in extbase with a 
collegue:

tx_extensionkey_domain_model_loremipusm

why was it necessary to include "_domain_model" into the names? table 
names can become quite long and it is not so hard to even become longer 
than the 64 character limit of mySQL.

kind regards

roland
