No there aren't any gotchas, and yes I am deeply versed in the details! :-)

It's not worth the trouble to change existing scripts, therefore I would
prefer to provide both "TclOO" and either "tcloo" or "oo" (or all three
of them, but I think two alternatives are sufficient).

Given that the core provides both "tcltest" and "Tcltest" - one being
for internal use only, I wouln't change that either, so "Tktest" should
be left as is. The only gotcha is that extensions cannot use the "tcl"
, "tk" or "oo"/"tcloo" (whatever we choose) packages any more, I
think that's more than acceptible.

How strict is the deadline supplying TIP's?
