Hi,
Uli and me have discussed this years ago but did not have a tool to do that automagically. I am the first to plusone this, we are wasting loads of bandwidth with "wfs_featuretype_element" which could also be "x3" which is 92.7% smaller. This code should only be used on productive portal sites, development will always be done with full names "wfs_featuretype_element".

Regards, Arnulf.
