Ahh, so from my example you would like to see something like "dmm_multi_" rather than "desk_mess_mirrored_multi_" which I would agree with, but textdomain and namespacing prefixes' have been allowed to use more sensible shortened version such as "dmm_" as a prefix for the Desk Mess Mirrored theme; but, keep in mind the shorter the prefix the higher the risk of conflict and collision.<br>
<br>Also, a Child-Theme would likely be over-writing a function call of the Parent's in most cases; I would not expect it to be specifically prefixed in reference to the Child-Theme itself. Although I imagine there would be use-cases where the Child-Theme is introducing new functions, those IMHO should be prefixed specifically to the Child-Theme and not carry a reference to the Parent-Theme.<br>
<br>I see the Parent-Child relationship in this case as strictly one way, so the Child-Theme has little need to reference new functions back to the Parent as the Parent-Theme would not be making any use of them to begin with.<br>

</div>It's partly an aesthetics thing, partly a sanity thing, partly a utility thing.<br>
<br>
I'd like my theme slug to match my standard function/variable<br>
namespacing prefix and really don't want to have to type a<br>
multi-word-hyphenated-mess before everything in order to maintain<br>
consistency.<br>
