Basically, I am thinking that since phpMyAdmin has started to pollute the database with tables of its own that it might as well use a standard prefix to add a few more tables to enable more features (eventually down the road)...
I didn't read the rest of your email yet, but as regards PMA polluting dataspace, I think it is best if we just standardize on using a single database for all of our tables. I use 'phpMyAdmin' as my database for all of relations and bookmarks, as well as my new DB configuration system.
If a user wants to, he is free chose a prefix for his phpMyAdmin tables. This is already possible in phpMyAdmin 2.2.x. Robin, putting all phpMyAdmin tables into a seperate DB is a good solution, but that's not always possible. I have some MySQL space on my ISP's server, but it doesn't allow me to create new databases...
