We mind breaking them (the function names for those two extensions should not
change at this point), but we could certainly change the special case in
c-client.xsl to only address xc_misc and x_print, and then have all other
current and future extensions use one word for the extension name.  That seems
like a reasonable approach to me, and it would remove the need to expand the
list of special cases in the future.  Please do submit a patch doing that, and
we'll happily apply it.

Thanks,
