[wsf-dev] naming?

[Brett McDowell]

When people talk about those projects (Xerces-J, Xerces-C, OpenSAML-J, etc.)
what do they say out loud?  Do they say "xerces Java code" and "openSAML's
Java stack" etc., or do they say "xerces-C" and "openSAML-C" etc.?  For
example I have only ever heard of openSAML as "openSAML" but I knew there
was both a C version and a Java version.  So if that flies maybe we could
name our project openLiberty-J and openLiberty-C but it would be
"openLiberty" in discussion.

To Curtis and Asa: there is a problem using "LID".  Not only is openLID too
close to OpenID, but LID is the name of another initiative in this space
"Lightweight IDentity".
