I agree. Naming them all *Card isn't that good. Let them use any name they
choose. We might recommend some naming convention, though, to indicate this
comes from the OpenCard tree, but we shouldn't require it. No harm in
nudging people in the direction we want them to go, but if we force them to
think our way they'll jump the boat.
