Hi Greg, > I'm not actually suggesting that @BXML is any clearer than @WTKX. I just > think it is clearer than "resource", which, in my opinion, is too overloaded.

I agree also here, so my proposal for "PivotResource" but I'm lazy so writing less is better also for me :-), and a name is only a name, the important is that it will be clear what it means.

"BXML" obviously has the same > problem, but at least "bx" and "BeanSerializer" are easier to say. ;-) I understand your point of view. > As I was thinking about this, I kind of mentally settled on "bx" for the > prefix, because it is short (less typing), and ".bxml" for the extension > (since that is a natural translation of "bean XML"). It also parallels the > Flex convention of "mx" and ".mxml". I'd prefer something more "pivot-oriented" but to me also this sounds good. I'm only trying to understand if having something at the start of the name (here in the namespace, and also in the annotation) referring to pivot is it would be a better default, like in an IDE in a project containing many libraries "I'm searching the Pivot Annotation for resources" or "what is the default namespace for pivot components" ... so maybe typing P and seeing what the IDE suggest could be more simple ... but no more. > It actually won't require much of a rewrite - it's pretty much a straight > rename/move. I wanted to get it in for 1.5, but unfortunately I think it will be too disruptive. So it is probably best assigned to 2.0. Ok, so you don't deprecate classes and method now ... probably is better at the moment. To me, have some code deprecated without having a new alternative gives mind stress :-) . Thanks, Sandro
