Is that file name size that important in today's time? I'd be surp= rised if anyone using Org is using MS-DOS. But regardless, the "ox-&qu= ot; prefix definitely looks better than "org-export-".

Variables and functions should r= eally be "org-export-html..." but that
would be very long. The "org" prefix is mandatory for Org variabl= es and
functions. "ox" would be misleading.

Does this have to do with org-export--generate-copy-script (as disc= ussed here[1])? Is the prefix requirement for "org-" more widespr= ead than that?=C2=A0
