Hi Bruce
OK. Thanx for explaining your reasoning.
All the PAUSE admins ask is that you think about the choices. We don't
force you to select some particular namespace.

Hi RSavage;
I hope this is the appropriate way to respond
to your message on the PAUSE Message Board.
You wrote:
In recent years, we've tended to use App::* as the definitive prefix
for app and scripts, all backed up by modules of source. So, it's be
good if you could rename your module to App::LaTeXML, and then plugins
are App::LaTeXML::Plugin::*. If you do that, just upload to the new
namespace, and then log on to PAUSE and delete the original.
I certainly understand your concerns; the top-level list
will get, or already is, somewhat out-of-hand, especially
if everybody's just _got_ to have their own top-level prefix!
Agreed.
The App namespace is already pretty full, itself! I get the
impression, perhaps mistaken, that App tends to contain
smaller utilities?
Not necessarily. I expect them to be complete apps, no matter how complex.
At any rate, while I appreciate your point, I would
want to resist the renaming. LaTeXML is a rather
large stand-alone application; it's module structure
is already pretty wide & deep. Also, while it is
new to CPAN, it isn't a new application and has
a decade of development and use, and svn/git history.
So it would be rather a pain to update all the packages,
"use"s, plugins, POD and other documentation.
Up to you.
Can you appreciate the situation?
Yep.
I'll definitely keep your request in mind
for any newer utilities that I develop.
Excellent.
Thanks for your comments;
bruce
Cheers.
