Thanks for bringing this up.  I hadn't actually thought about it, but I
think you are right.  I'm working on a GNOME conference in the U.S.
precisely around things like xdg-app and I think having a name that
encapsulate this, is a good idea.

(I'm working on fully funding this, but I haven't gotten the PR items in
place yet, that's why I haven't announced it)

You know this might be something the engagement team might be good for.  I
can try to help out with coming up with something.  I think that would be
pretty rad.
