No, I called it mod_wsgi because it is "module wsgi".
To reduce confusion, as an example, in my Mercurial repository, mod_wsgi 
is under the 'nginx' directory.

I will try to make sure that the "nginx" prefix will always well visible.

But this is a "no problem" :).
A WSGI application can be embedded in Apache *or* in nginx.

I would like to use a common name/interface so applications can easily 
be ported from Nginx to Apache and viceversa.
