No, its the package name PLUS the identifier used in the type declaration.
Unless, of course you throw use clauses everywhere in your code. If you do
that then it doesn't matter much what convention you use, I won't be able to
read your code.
We have preliminarliy standardized on the Package_Name.Instance notation here.
I'm not sure I like it either, but I have yet to see a suggestion that is
better when full name notation is used. The other suggestions I have seen here
so far either redundantly name the type and the package, or encode the fact
that it is a type in the type name or a package in the package name (duh).

Because that won't work. What you are really proposing is something like:
My_Account: Bank_Account_Package.Bank_Account;
...which really reads worse and types much longer than:
My_Account : Bank_Account.Instance;

Be careful. While this may be a nifty convention for ending discussions about
the U.S. constitution, the Ada language designers aren't yet dead. In fact,
they are still around and reading c.l.a. In my experience they have a rather
annoying habit of piping in and disagreeing with me when I was sure they'd
agree. :-)
