The names would then be out of sync with the forms of documentation
supported on apparantly less than half-decent OSes. (like CHM)

Moreover I don't have a problem with the names themselves. One could wonder
about the division of the three, but the association of "ref" with
"reference guide", prog with "programmers's guide" etc isn't THAT hard.
