I'm not sure I understand this reaction. To be honest, I think simple
permutation in form that addresses the inevitable queries to the list
regarding the problem of name-mangling by browsers a "good thing"(tm) (of
course one could argue that the browsers need to be fixed!;-)). This idea
seems to be focused toward that goal. Logistics of making this change aside,
is there a reason this would NOT be a good idea? Just curious...
