Not 100% sure if that's the right place to add that info, but I like the idea. I'd prefer oh-you-eye over the French pronunciation because I think the meaning is clearer to English speaking people. When you throw French words in an English conversation, you might have to explain how to spell them anyway.

Suggested change
In code, the OUI uses the namespace `oui`. This namespace should prefix class
In code, the OUI (Open User Interface, spelled oh-you-eye in English or /oʊ juː aɪ/) uses the namespace `oui`. This namespace should prefix class

names, custom CSS properties, event names, and any other custom identifiers.
Where the casing convention is uppercase, `OUI` is acceptable, but mixed case is
not.
