Yeah, sounds good.

However, let me make one suggestions.  Although I don't think it is a rule,
people tend to choose lowercase names for class names.  For example, people
use "vcard" and not "vCard".  So perhaps you may want to use
"mariokartds-id" or "mario-kart-ds-id" or something like that (instead of
"marioKartDS-ID"),


See ya
