OK folks, I think I've come around on this name change.  Just got to refine it.


Does anyone else find "Movie Open Exchange" to be sort of grammatically awkward?

I'm thinking maybe just drop the official meaning and leave it up to people's imagination, like the EXR in OpenEXR.  Does anyone care that DPX stands for Digital Picture Exchange?


Then how should we capitalize it?

"Hey, send me over a Mox file."
"That MoX file done rendering yet?"
"The client really needs their MOX file!"


I think I'm partial to MOX.

And can we agree that it's pronounced as one syllable, not "em-oh-ex"?
