> I'm against: all USB definitions are from external specifiers, either
USB-IF or vendors. Neither Be Inc at his time neither us can influence USB
standards specification. We made some effort to keep these definitions
names from being as crypted as seen on other platforms, witch is great,
but prefixing with B_ wont add any value but could make someone think it's
specific to BeOS/Haiku.
If the headers are to be public and the defined interface doesn't belong
to some standard (e.g. POSIX) there is really nothing to discuss. They
have to be prefixed "B_". Which doesn't have anything to do with whether
Be, Inc. influences standards, just with what namespace they chose for
BeOS's public API. The simple reason for using this prefix is to avoid
clashes with third party software.
