Which tag prefix to use?

["Howard M. Lewis Ship" <hl...@attbi.com>]

I just think that for non-Java people (and some Java people) its just going
to be black magic no matter what.  HTML designers will see that jwcid
attribute and know to avoid messing with the rest.  HTML designers who
understand Java won't be put off my the prefix, I don't think.
