libkeduvocdocument name

[Jeremy Whiting]

Peter,

You make a good point. Actually the name being old isn't the only
reason to change it. There are two reasons. One is that
libkeduvocdocument is quite a mouthful. But the more important one is
that in the future we plan to update the library to use a new file
format. The technical details haven't been ironed out completely yet,
but ideally we want the xml and any accompanying image and sound files
to be included within one compressed file (most likely zip) for
simpler uploading, downloading, and sharing of vocabulary files. A bit
of work has been done looking at existing file formats and standards,
but nothing has been set in stone yet (or in code either) and I'd like
the change to be gradual rather than all at once if we can. However
since libkeduvocdocument has it's own git repository now I'd like to
have a name for the git repository and the library to begin with, it
will be much harder to rename the git repository or library after we
have a few releases with the long libkeduvocdocument name.

BR,
Jeremy
