I appreciate your strive for precision.

Well, as the RSS civil war shows no matter what name
you choose someone always feels left out. You can't
please everybody.
I respect your opinion and I won't try to change it.
Following Sam Ruby's example I hope to get a wiki up
and running and then you're more than welcome to
suggest new names and post your opinion and dissent
for all to see.
> C -> C++ -> Java -> C#
Now I'm not sure about you but somehow C is a little
overused here, don't you think?
Let's try it with XUL:
How about XUL -> XUL++ -> XUL#
Anyway, don't let us get stuck in an endless flame
war about a three letter acronym and let's move on to
help all UI motors interop by creating tag
compatibility charts, for examples. Any takers?
