I just did a quick look through TAG-16 (and the resolution doc), but there does not seem to be any mention of naming conventions at all.  Maybe I'm missing it...

Honestly imo, I don't think we should defining/enforcing naming conventions for examples across projects.  JDF is another matter as you're going for consistency across quickstarts, but I don't think that ticket monster should be "jboss-as-errai-html5-jsf-ticket-monster" :-)

I would just recommend adding it as a note for consideration - i.e. shorting application names make accessing examples from mobile devices easier.
