Consider prefixing protocol/interface names to avoid potential future naming conflicts #24

As I understand it, the protocols in wayland-x11-compat-protocols are modifications of unmerged protocols in wayland-protocols. However, it's conceivable that some future revision of one of those protocols might use the same protocol or interface name. As such, would it make sense to put a prefix (such as x11compat_) on the interface name (and removing wayland-protocols prefixes such as xdg_ or ext_)?

https://github.com/misyltoad/frog-protocols is doing a similar thing. Maybe we should join efforts with them?

That sounds like a good idea to me, although my experience with Wayland is rather limited.
