Tab explained in that thread some reasons why we want to use a prefix.

User code can overwrite WebIDL interface objects, but if for example some
user code wants to use the name Rect, it's a pain to mix that with other
code that wants to use the DOM Rect API, so name collisions still have a
cost.

How are we going to settle this once and for all so it doesn't get reopened
again?
