[Carl Poirier <carl.poirier.2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let's use the full name, then. So here are the adjustments:

2. Symbol Library Names (.lib files)
------------------------------------

2.1. Manufacturer.
2.2. Category or family of parts. ex: "Capacitors", "Spartan6", etc.


4. Symbol Names
---------------

4.1. Name of symbol, may be shortened for common components or use
reference designator of the symbol (IEEE 315-1975). ex: "Conn_4x2", "C"etc.
4.2. Manufacturer.
4.3. Part number, including extension for specific footprint. (JEDEC for
common devices, ex: 1N4001)
4.4. Any modification to the original footprint, indicated by appending the
reason. Ex: different pin ordering: "transistor_PNP_pinswap1"
4.5. Indication of quantity if symbol is an array. ex: resistor array:
"Resistor_x8"

Any other comments?
