I'm doing some experimentation/research with the
input/output/autoincrement modules and I've noted that the output
modules prefix all attributes set with either the setting in
"key-prefix" or the string
"org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule" and a colon.
The JavaDoc states the reason as:

Configuration option <key-prefix> defaults to
 * "org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.output.OutputModule"+":"

but gives no reason as to why this was done. Because of this feature I'm
going to be writing my own OutputModules to duplicate the purpose of the
built-in ones, but without the key-prefix.

My question is, why is the key-prefix used? 

My suggestion is, can we have the option to turn it off altogether?
(Remove the whole prefix including the colon so that we have a more
natural 'key'='value' instead of 'prefix:key'='value'.)

Thanks,
Sterling
