I know what you mean. I do similar things when I name my C# files with
the schema encapsulation classes. For example Mail.Incoming.Status.cs
and News.Alert.Feed.cs. Status and Feed are (more or less) the block
names.

I think I was probably trying to keep the Class=CID.Meteor block
naming consistent. Something has to give one way or the other.

This makes a lot of sense and does seem preferable as it fits in with
the notion of inheritance nicely as you say. If you go with that let
me know and I'll update all the docs and my classes. Errr, is anybody
else using these schema that would be affected? I can always leave in
the old one but that just means multiple repeat messages really.

No! Nothing. It was just a really noddy test app. In fact, I seem to
vaguelly recall that it just received any message and formatted it for
TTS output. So it wasn't schema driven. It was a mere toy that I've
never revisited.
