I agree :-)

Based on the discussion on the IRC, I've used 'lo::' in the patch,
instead of the too generic 'api::'.  The patch is split into 2, so that
we do not have to patch sc/ immediately due to the ongoing work there.

http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~kendy/tmp/0001-API-Change-css-to-lo.patch
http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~kendy/tmp/0002-API-Change-css-to-lo-in-sc-too.patch

I have even the 'api::' version around, but it seems to me that
generally people seemed to be happier with the less general 'lo::' [and
it is shorter ;-)].

Regarding the other concerns - we definitely do not want / cannot change
the com.sun.star in the .rdbs etc. due to our goal of keeping as much
ABI compatibility as possible.  But my view here is that as soon as you
start seeing that something is named lo::blah::something in the core,
but com::sun::star::blah::something in the rdb or somewhere, you are
already advanced enough not to be confused by such a thing.

Please let me know if this is acceptable :-)

All the best,
Kendy
