My suggestion
is that we ressurect the XAP name

It stood for Xap Audio Plugin IIRC.
Pros: it's short*, relatively unused** and pronouncable***
I know it's stupid, but starting with "X" has the same problem as
starting with "G" and "K". Seeing XAP out of context, people will
default to thinking it's some X related technology.
Or XML related, yes. It's a risk.
Cons:
xap.{com,org,net} will have gone long ago (too short), theres a
small ammount of baggage.
It would be very nice if we could get the
specname.org domain, to
provide stable resolvable plugin URIs for plugins for authors that don't
have nice spiffy domains of their own...
Then again, domains aren't free, and I know I'm not paying for it. :)
If we can find one thats not too expensive I'll pick up the tab.
