Yes, I would very much like to drop the altr prefix if we have general
acceptance that this isn't all Altera specific. I'll need to rename
altera-fpga-bus-fpga-area.txt to drop the 'altera-' prefix and clean
up a little there.

If you want to send me a Xilinx example of usage for me to include in that
document, that would be useful also. I think you might have sent me
something a while ago, but I can't find it now.
