[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Tag naming convention
I've seen it because it is a common practice among some programmers who are concatenating names out of database tables. So, local rules of caring prevail. :-) I don't like it precisely because it is an overloaded syntax now and will make me think I am looking at an associative name. I also prefer case-blending for that. Probably just a habit. Sorry about not being specific about the archive dates. When one lives in one town all of their life, it is all one long week. Low rates of change dull the perception of time. Len Bullard Intergraph Public Safety clbullar@i... http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta. Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Mike Sharp [mailto:msharp@l...] That's about how I figured. But even though XML doesn't care, sometimes *we* do. As far as I can tell, there is nothing particularly to recommend the practice--no advantage that using a mixed-case convention wouldn't address. It seems like it would be confusing to newcomers. I'm not sure I understand how using a namespace would solve the issue, as was mentioned in the earlier thread you mentioned. Speaking of which, I thought I had seen a thread on this earlier, but couldn't find it in the archives. After reading your messag, I went back and finally found it in June. Missed it before. The operative word is "some" months back... Is there a way to search them? Working from home on a modem rather than the office on a T3 is somewhat a dis-incentive to following links in an archive!
