For a long time we've been happy with the 2 letter class prefix convention. But now Apple is more and more using prefixes other than the venerable "NS": "CF" for CoreFoundation, "AB" for AddressBook, "CG" for CoreGraphics, "AM" for Automator, "MD" for metadata etc. and the risk of collision is growing.

I've never been a huge fan of Java's namespace, and it's not available anyway. I was wondering how others are coping with this: 3 letter prefixes? no prefix? ignoring the issue?

I've always wondered about WebKit; why doesn't it use a prefix? Or is the prefix supposed to be 'Web' (there is your 3 letter prefix), and if so why not WK...
