Item Naming Conventions

I've been using APEX for a while now, however a new user recently asked me a question: Instead of prefixing a new item with the "PX_" why not label it to some unique value?
Ex: Instead of "P20_START_DATE" (where P20 is referencing some products) use "PRODUCT_START_DATE" as the item name. That way if you copy the page you won't need to change the references in your source code etc.
He does make a valid point about removing the prefix so that you can use the variable throughout the application.
I agree with this in very small applications, however in larger applications i can see a lot of issues arising.
Comments/Thoughts?
