At the risk of reversing my opinion, since we only have a few of these 
and it would probably be good if the variants are list side by side in a 
listing. I think something like:

Layer.WFS
Layer.WFSVector
Layer.WFS.Vector
Layer.WFS_V
Layer.WFST

Layer.GeoRSS
Layer.GeoRSSVector
Layer.GeoRSS.Vector
Layer.GeoRSS_V

would be better. I do not think we need to clutter the names space by 
adding Vector to the Unambiguous ones.
