nit: I think the apple naming convention has been (name)kit and core(name).

Apple seems to use both, but they've been leaning towards Core* rather than *Core recently. We have CoreAudio, CoreBluetooth, CoreFoundation, CoreGraphics, CoreImage, CoreLocation, CoreText…but there's also WebCore, JavaScriptCore, QuartzCore, and ImageCaptureCore.
I am really only familiar with webkit and webcore, so I just assumed most others followed that pattern!

CoreML always sounded wrong to me because of that.
