  I think he's suggesting that the -<org>- part of the tag would suffice to
distinguish the namespaces even within the same <module>-, and the
least-significant word(s) of the tag that follows -<org>- could conform to any
format that those within -<org>- decided suited their needs without any danger
of clashing between -<org1>-'s namespace and -<org2>-'s.

  <module>-<org>-<org-dependent-part>

  No reason why <org-dependent-part> shouldn't amount to -<date> for -<org>- ==
-rh- and to -<somethingelse> when -<org>- == -cs-

    cheers,
