For example why didn't Stewart Gordan just use "swdf.commondialog" instead of
"smjg.libs.sdwf.commondialog"?   I doubt there would be much namespace conflict
with "swdf". (maybe I should download it to see :)

I hope D doesn't adopt that whole Java naming mess with company-names etc.

Probably not.

Partly because it's called SDWF, not SWDF.  Secondly because it just 
seemed sensible to create a hierarchical system for my packages.

I've found it useful for my applications as well, hence smjg.libs and 
smjg.apps.

I rather like the java convention- the domain backwards.  It prevents
namespace conflicts.  I'm using the package
com.demmegod
for my D libs (not that I've written a hell of a lot... yet)

The problem I have with the java conventions is when it's violated-
especially with sun and their sun packages.  Where's the mess with the
convention?
