Couple of ideas:
Dcc (digital cinema codec or digital codec container)
Dox (digital open exchange format)
Dmx (digital movie exchange)

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later.

just spitballing, most of these are probably already in use:
- .ofx - open visual effects
- .fex - Effects exchange
- .oav - open audio / video
- .ogr - open graphics exchange
- .cgr - creative graphics format
- .mox - movie open exchange
- .pox - professional open exchange

More thoughts on naming....there are already things called POM, including a file format used by a Java development system (pom.xml). Wikipedia has a whole list:

It would be nice to have a name that was unique, like OpenEXR is. Other names that popped into my head early on include OpenMovie and OpenMOV, maybe using the .omv extension. UMF isn't bad. Obviously POM is what I'm still favoring.
It was also pointed out to me that what I'm proposing to do is similar to these MXF "Application Specifications":

The current ones do not meet our needs, but I should probably add "MXF for Visual Effects" or something. I think re-branding the format is still a good idea though, as "AS-13 MXF" isn't too sexy.
