Hello. A strong goal of XForms integration with XHTML 2.0, and the XHTML Working Group asked that we avoid hyphens and use only lowercase letters for element and attribute names, which rules out both "selectOne" and "select-one". The all lower-case "selectone" is difficult to read in English, as it would be pronounced "selec-tone", and is indeed used as such in at least one trademark (http://www.com-spec.com/selectone/). I don't think that trailing numerals in element names are unusual; see HTML <h1>, <h2>, etc. Thank you, Leigh L. Klotz, Jr. -----Original Message----- From: Piroumian Konstantin [mailto:KPiroumian@protek.com] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 12:21 AM To: 'www-forms@w3.org' Subject: Naming: select1 vs. singleSelect Hi! What is the reason of using a name like 'select1' for single choice selection element? Don't you think that this kind of name is absolutely unusual in XML, XSL, XHTML or HTML worlds? What's wrong with 'selectOne' or 'singleSelect'/'multiSelect' names? Or maybe 'select-one' (using XSLT naming convensions)?
