You can choose what you your internal codes to be. If don't want the library
code prefix, just set it to blank in SCFG.

I can't think of a way in Baja off-hand. My suggestion would be to use
JavaScript instead where it is most certainly possible.

Yup. And that's only the *current* library's short name, not all of your
library short names.
