Please don't invent new useless prefixes.

It doesn't really look like he invented a 'new useless' prefix.  It looks to me like he picked a prefix that correlates attribution of the data declaration to the entity that created it.  You may not like that he provided attribution, but that doesn't mean its useless.

If you'd rather use a different prefix, send a patch to fix it.

Also, a registered trademark doesn't seem to be a good prefix.

Who holds 'WIFI' as a registered trademark?
