Long ago I made http://www.w3.org/wiki/List_of_events where you can see that other naming schemes have been attempted, including `camelCase`, `CamelCase`, `da-shes`, in addition to `alllowercase`, and without much planning and coordination, and a lot of legacy, that's what we ended up with. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de D-10243 Berlin · PGP Pub.
