Sure, fpWeb is fine. What I mean:
1) clear distinction between 
a. "ExtJS Component" : a component of the ExtJS framework written in 
   JavaScript.
b. "fpExtJS Component" : a component of fpWeb written in pascal, 
   designed  to deal with an ExtJS component.
It's just a documentation/communication issue: "..ExtJS components can 
be modified to support jquerygrid.." vs. "..fpExtJS components can be 
modified to support jquerygrid.."
2) *if* fpExtJS components get modified to also support jquerygrid, they 
should be renamed to fpUniJS component (or so). A well choosen name, 
which reflects the functionality, relationship and restriction of a 
component saves half a page of documentation and makes it easier for a 
newbie to get an overview.
