http://openjsan.org/documentation/dists.html seems reasonably
descriptive of what we were aiming for. I don't think it was
CPAN-related: instead, it was beacuse Test.AnotherWay said that it was a
JSAN module, so we followed that convention: 

 http://www.openjsan.org/doc/a/ar/artemkhodush/Test/AnotherWay/0.52/index.html

In general, I don't think the "JSAN" convention is that strong, or
important. Instead, we just try to name files like the classes they
contain.
