[ormf-dev] Naming conventions for exemplary tool

Beloved Mentors,

Joel and I have been trying to come up with an appropriate plug-in naming convention for the Useme related plug-ins as opposed to the framework plug-ins, but so far we have not succeeded. I guess the most important and fundamental question is: does the framework acronym (ormf) need to appear in the name or not? We have scrounged around the ecosystem for examples but have not been able to find any suitable ones. 

Here are a few permutations we have tried, all of them unsatisfactory to us for one reason or another:

org.eclipse.ormf.client.editor.usecase - the name we have now, but lacks reference to Useme (the actual tool name)
org.eclipse.ormf.useme.client.editor.usecase - clumsy and not easy for future tools to follow
org.eclipse.ormf.client.editor.useme.usecase - indicates that all tools fall into the editor namespace which is not necessarily true (there could be reporting tools, for instance)
org.eclipse.useme.client.editor.usecase - looses the fact that it is built on ORMF

Any suggestions or guidelines? (Please refrain from the obvious suggestion: "Get a life!"...  ;-)

Thank you muchly, as always.
B.
