	It really boils down to the amount of IDL that is already out
there.  

	If it is a significantly large amount, then we should remain
backwards compatible.  However, if it's only a moderate amount, let's make
the IDL naming consistent while we still can.

	In short, does the advantage of consistency outweigh the work
necessary to fix all existing code?

	Perhaps you could come up with some kind of transition plan,
where all the old names will continue working for another year, but the
new, consistent names will also be accessible.  Then, in all the
documentation, refer to the new names and call the old ones "deprecated".
