I do agree we can make a different case for interceptors and decorators as
we do for qualifiers, events and other annotations. Interceptors and
decorators need to be easy to type in XML, whereas qualifiers, events and
other annotations just need to be IDE friendly (and can have a more variant
classification structure).

While I've submitted my support for convention Lincoln suggests above, I'm
also open to adding the module short name:

org.jboss.seam.[module].intercept.[name]Interceptor
org.jboss.seam.[module].intercept.[name]Interceptor

I do think we should agree on one of these two proposals for interceptors
and decorators specifically.
