'prior art' will allow us to use Avalon if MS try protect their new namespace.
'xdocs' is under attack by MS too.

We have been trying to brand as "Avalon-Phoenix" for some time. Why? people (not wthshtinding recent events) get confused between Avalon and its sub projects (framework, logkit, excalibur, phoenix etc). At various times in the last eight months you'll have found me picking people up on naming in the mail list...
Yes, I've seen it.
But now there is probably a worse problem: Avalon itself.

"Microsoft has replaced the standard Display Properties with a complete XML-based configuration panel that uses a new API framework named Avalon."
I've read this in other places too, but funny enough I read it 5 minutes after your post.
For now, I'm +1 to call it Avalon-Phoenix, the fullname of which is Apache Avalon-Phoenix.
This problem will probably be less present in the future, with the new easy-to-understand-and-not-too-fancy names.

to change name. The new name has not yet been decided, but it is being
[2]discussed . The reason is that the BIOS manufacturer [3]Phoenix
Technologies dislikes the trademark infrigment. Next week version 0.5
will be released, with a new name."
