Heh.  On a similiar note, different XML-based languages seem to adopt
different practise with element names made up of several words.  Some
use <quiteLongElementName/> (e.g. XForms) whilst others go for
<quite-long-element-name/> (e.g. XSLT).  Why, I wonder, is there no
stand practise within the W3C?
