There seems to be some prefixes:
 * 'c', 'r' and 't'.
   Not quite sure what these are.

These are explained here:

http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/dita.html#DITA+file+names

"All DITA topics are classified as either concepts, tasks, or reference material. Thus, every file begins with either a "c", "t", or "r". In addition, the letters that appear immediately after this first one provide a shorthand id for the manual. For example, the Getting Started with Derby manual uses "gs", so a reference topic DITA file in that manual will start with "rgs"."

 * 'dev', 'tools', 'tuning', 'ref'
   These indicate which manual the file belongs to.

And, the great mystery, what do all the digits mean?
Are they generated by a (deprecated) tool, are they random?
For instance, 'rrefexcept71493.dita'.

On the same web page, I found:

"Subsequent letters in the file name may provide hints at the topic's section within the manual, as well as numbers distinguishing it from other DITA files."

It seems that the numbers are random, but perhaps someone with DITA- or relevant historical knowledge has more details...
