Hi devs,

As you may have seen, I've been working on the new model in a branch. 

We need to decide on the naming of the Entity classes (wiki, space, document, 
object, object definition, etc).

We have several possibilities I know of for naming them:

1) Wiki, Space, Document, Object, ObjectDefinition
2) WikiEntity, SpaceEntity, DocumentEntity, ObjectDefinitionEntity
3) Wiki, Space, Document, XObject, XObjectDefinition (or simply 
ObjectDefinition)
4) XWiki, XSpace, XDocument, XObject, XObjectDefinition
5) Some other name for objects.

Some concerns:
* Using Object as in 1) is a bit of a pain since there's java.lang.Object which 
forces to use the FQN name when coding in Java. Which is why I've put proposals 
2) and 3)
* In proposal 3) there's a bit of an inconsistency with the X in XObject which 
is not present in the other entity names, hence proposal 4 and 2)
* In proposal 1) there can be some other clashes. For example Document can 
clash with the DOM Document object

My personal vote goes to 2), even though it makes the entity names a bit longer.

Cast your votes!

Thanks
-Vincent
