Now the guideline says we should write about the Qt Sql module, the Qt Xml module and so on. The feedback is that we should write about the Qt SQL module, the Qt XML module, the Qt XML Patterns module, the Qt MIME Types module and so on. The short version used in the code would continue be QtSql, QtXml and so on.

Hi Henry.

I don't have a strong opinion on the docs. I'd think all caps is ok there
if the items in question are known under such a name.

But note that the class names are supposed to use QXml*  
(...StreamReader e.g.), QFtp* etc.
