here! here! we should be more boring and serious! it's not like we market our 
development platform to anyone, after all. programmers are just dorks who do 
what they are told.

besides, it's best if we try and blend in with the corporates by trying to be 
just like them: boring and obvious. i mean, look at the market: Qt ("cute"), 
Cocoa, Spotlight, dotNet ... yeah, they are so serious slash obvious it 
hurts. 

such serious naming also reflects our culture best too. last thing i'd want to 
do is have some fun and enjoy working with our stuff.

p.s. people ask me on a regular basis what "WebKit" is. so even obvious names 
aren't.

p.p.s. name your lib whatever you want, but i'd suggest holding back on 
commenting on the straw in other people's eyes.
