While Canon has the T1i, XSi, 5D Mk.II, 1Ds Mk.III. Like seriously how is that better than D40, D60, D90, D300, D700, D3.
For the bodies, you're right. My mistake, I was referring to the classification system on Nikon's lenses, e.g. the 24mm 2.8D and there is a non-D version I believe (I don't know what the D means). Then you have AF G for another letter/acronym, AF-S, AF-I, ED, IF, and whatever else there is. For Canon lenses, we mainly just have the the EF and EF-S, IS, TS-E. Maybe Nikon's makes sense but I just haven't bothered to learn the acronyms.
