I think that voting on a concrete name for the module namespace now is
questionable, as (a.) it very much depends on the name that WG1 Scheme
and the corresponding report will have, and (b.) whether WG2 will have
module versioning (which would make a name with an embedded version -
such as "scheme2011" - wouldn't be a particularly good choice). I think
at least (a.) should be sorted out before this can be sensibly voted on.
If I could vote, my preferences would be "rsn", then "rs11". (As future
versions of the report hopefully won't have to bring such a large number
of incompatibilities to its predecessor again, I don't think that
putting the version in the name is all that important, or even desirable.)
Regards,
Denis
