I'm sorry if my words made it appear that I was concerned only with
whether I personally would remember the non-suggestive name "shr".
Renaming the package to a name that visibly fits what the package does
would be a cleanup that would make its meaning more obvious to
everyone.

Could we start renaming packages to meaningful, clear names when we
add them to Emacs or GNU ELPA?  We used to keep names short for MSDOS,
but that isn't necessary any more.
