I'm not sure I understand this reaction.  To be honest, I think simple 
permutation in form that addresses the inevitable queries to the list 
regarding the problem of name-mangling by browsers a "good thing"(tm) (of 
course one could argue that the browsers need to be fixed!;-)).  This idea 
seems to be focused toward that goal.  Logistics of making this change aside, 
is there a reason this would NOT be a good idea?  Just curious...
