In order to prevent name clashes, the m- x- s- and p- prefixes are reserved for myself and pragma folks. I can support u-* for user modules, but we need to make sure that users make unique names. If needed i can put those public user things into a separate archive. So, how about a u- prefix? Also, *styles* never are modules, except from those in the standard distribution (the s- and x- ones that i make here). User styles are environments and are loaded with \environment Also, when writing modules, make sure that you use existing keywords in a consistent way, use soem Capitals in the names of macros, and use only documented interfaces (in case of doubt: ask!). Later i will provide scripts for normalizing files.
