Did I say it shouldn't be discussed here? I just said I don't see the point. Supposed 1000 people here say "yes, it does belong there", and the modules list says "no", then what? Or 1000 people here say "no, it doesn't", the OP changes the name of his package, and next week, someone else creates XHTML::DancingSquirrels and the modules list says "Cool, we finally have an XHTML rootlevel namespace".

My point is that perlmonks doesn't control CPAN. CPAN does not have an open forum to discuss which namespaces are "official", but in practise, anything goes anyway, whether blessed by the cabal or not.

So, I remain with my standpoint that I don't see the point of discussing it. And note that the OP didn't ask "do you consider this a good name for my module?", he specifically asked about whether that toplevel namespace should be on CPAN.
