I'm of the mind that we don't need to worry about this. If some developer does
this they will either have a good reason or they will be ridiculed.

Does this not conflict with your argument #1?

In any case, I'm not sure what you mean. If YUI provides "x-button" and JQuery
provides "x-button", there goes the lovely interoperation we seek. Almost
certainly it will become standard to prefix your tags. Then we have alphabet
soup.

> 4. is it really providing a significant value?

I know you need more opinions than just mine, but I still say yes.
