There has been some traffic recently on names in XSchema. So that we can quickly resolve this issue, I propose we submit it to a simple vote. I have enclosed a sample ballot and propose the following voting rules: 1) I will mail a ballot to the list on Friday, July 3 (is this a US holiday?), assuming the ballot is stable. 2) People will mail their ballots privately to me and I will collate them. In the interests of fairness, I will not vote myself. 3) Voting will close when I arrive at work on Thursday morning, July 9 (around 9:00 am Central European Time). I will post results later that day. Questions: ---------- 1) Should there be separate capitalization styles for element names, attribute names, and attribute values? 2) Suggestions for alternate naming schemes or changes to the current schemes are welcome. *****SAMPLE BALLOT*************SAMPLE BALLOT*************SAMPLE BALLOT******** XSchema Naming Conventions ========================== XSchema will use the following naming conventions. Capitalization -------------- Check one: [ ] ALL CAPS [ ] Mixed Caps [ ] no caps Underscores: ------------ Check one: [ ] Use underscores to separate words (e.g. element_name) [ ] Do not use underscores to separate words (e.g. elementname) Element and Attribute Names: ---------------------------- Check one: [ ] XML 1.0 specification names (see attachment A) [ ] Simple names (see attachment B) Please mail this ballot to Ron Bourret rbourret@d... NOTE: If more than one box is checked in a section, that section will be ignored; the votes in the remaining sections will still be counted. If anybody submits more than one ballot, only the last ballot entered will be counted. Attachment A: XML 1.0 Specification Names ----------------------------------------- The following element names match names of productions in the XML 1.0 specification whenever possible. These are the names currently used. Attribute names are shown in parentheses and attribute values are shown in quotes. Mixed case is shown.
