Choosing Java class names

Years ago, I took some childish pleasure in naming the class that does whitespace-stripping in Saxon "Stripper.java".

Guess what? The second-most popular entry point to the Saxonica web site from Google is .../javadoc/net/sf/saxon/event/stripper.html

The punters must be very disappointed. I wonder how much I'm paying for the wasted bandwidth?

It's one way to boost my google rankings, I suppose.
