Apparently, other people are confused as well: http://www.xent.com/FoRK-archive/august97/0431.html FWIW, google has ~30,000 results for -eable, and ~8,000 results for -able. A couple other software projects (notably Apache Jakarta) use -eable. My preference would be for -eable, but that's just on the basis of "it looks right", which is hardly authoritative.
