It is safe if you use just that, none can garantte there is no name 
conflict if both users and internal namings are used.

The reservation of different reserved named spaces within an application 
is not a complex problem, xrtailab has one. The real problem is the 
constraint to use just 6 characters that limis the ease of the scheme we 
are using. So it will be solved, as I'm being bitten by it too, along 
the line of my email.
