I think file-scope static globals don't need a prefix. In the few cases of globals with extern linkage, I think a prefix would make them needlessly unpleasant to use. HTMLNames.h is one of the most prominent examples. I don't think we'd want to write g_divTag and g_widthAttr instead of divTag and widthAttr.
