Dave, Hmm this is tricky .. I think I never encountered them while I never worked with the set of classes you mention.
Let me try and look at it from another perspective. I googled "class Handler". As expected lots of entries (4,120,000). So should Cocoon rename its Handler class to CHandler? I'd say no because that is the reason we have packages/namespaces because you like it or not names will clash and not only for classes in the same problem-domain! I agree with Jerome on when the problem domain is the same name-clashes can't be avoided. Options to rename Guard. Sentry? I understand it but how many Spanish or non-native English speakers would be able to make that connection? Cheers Piyush
