Thinking about the whole Application Support directory situation further..

does this not encounter the same potential issues that the defaults system did with respect to naming?

Apple moved to the more flexible (and like likely to collide) com.something.appname for defaults... yet the Application Support directory still uses the application name..

this seems like it should be implemented in a fashion similar to the localization of the Application and Library directories... make the directories actual name the same as the defaults domain, and then translate it on the fly to something human friendly..
