Roger, the following resources might be of interest. Both are (way) out of date, but provide reasonable samples for the specified coverage.
1. Naming and Design Rules

Naming and Design Rules (NDR) Specifications - ACORD Naming and Design Rules (NDR)
- Danish XML Project: OIOXML Naming and Design Rules - EPA Exchange Network XML Design Rules and Conventions - Federal XML Naming and Design Rules Project - Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) Naming and Design Rules

Hi Folks,
I am sampling some standard XML vocabularies to see what naming convention they use. Below is what I've compiled thus far. What naming convention do you use?
1. XML Schema: all elements and attributes are camel case. Examples: maxOccurs, elementFormDefault, substitutionGroup.
2. XSLT: all elements and attributes are lower-case, dash-separated. Examples: apply-templates, exclude-result-prefixes, analyze-string.
3. Schematron: most elements and attributes are a single, lower-case word (e.g., assert, rule, pattern). There is an element and an attribute with multiple words (value-of, is-a). There are two elements that use camel case (queryBinding and defaultPhase).
Notice that Schematron isn't consistent in its naming convention. Is that a bad thing? Is it a good thing to have a consistent naming convention?
Why does XML Schema and XSLT have different naming conventions? They are both W3C technologies. Does the W3C not have a policy on naming markup?
