More importantly:

- It is short

- It doesn't have any English words in it

This is the most likely place where name spaces might appear
in public URLs, so I wanted to make them as unobtrusive as
possible. (If you work hard, you can avoid them altogether,
but I don't expect most people to work that hard.)
