Probably not once any longer at the moment there is more than one add-in.
Anyway I agree for now the API could go in the same project as the Word 
add-in, and we'll extract it to its own the day we need/want to release 
it separately (when we have another add-in for example).

I would still go for XWORD. XWORDADDIN or XMSWORD work as well, but are 
less easy to rememnber.

We could thinko of a prefix for extensions as well, as we have XP for 
plugins, XS for skins and XA for applications. It could be XI, for 
"XWiki Integration". (But it is too late for XEclipse anyway).

Right now, I'm +1 for XWORD.
