- The key to good software architectecture is good naming. You can build beautiful structures on good names. Good names are obvious names; they point toward truth; they are future-proof. They do not miscategorize, they do not duplicate, they do not mislead. Good names scale.

Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine–Hilaire Belloc

At least I've always found it so
Benedicamus Domino.

- Jonathan,
You're right about good naming being vital. Have you read Domain-Driven Design, by Eric Evans? He describes a process for coming up with good names in cooperation with the domain experts for the project.
I love the little Belloc poem above. Funny, I nearly put it on my personal page before I saw it here :)
