Re: Nomenclature

Charlie,

I would go with Java style naming.
Maybe: xwt.util.OrderedList and the second being list or vector...
[I know that will be knocked down because it is two words, but something 
saying what it does is important. Also the Java naming context is also 
something that this would be compared to.]
