All splendid ideas! Now let's hope someone finds the time to do something with them.

I've updated the Wiki, taking into account Paul's suggestions.
I agree that the default extension namespace is not the right place, since it's limited to one output format (PDF). Using dash-separated names and values, which then need to be converted to CamelCase anyway, seemed unnecessary. Maybe it looks a bit more esthetically pleasing when viewing the FO source, but it introduces the need to 'parse' the names/values (or rather: make them parsable for a PDF Viewer)

I think using the same terminology as in the PDF Reference makes sense here. Maybe, in the future, the same infrastructure can be used to create other kinds of dictionaries (the ViewerPreferences dictionary is already one very good example).

A bit more complex to implement than Jeremias' proposal (which requires only one extension element, with a lot of attributes), but well worth the effort to investigate.


Cheers

Andreas
