You may want to wait for DV's opinion on naming, but I wasn't aware that
we had a consensus on camelCase.  In fact, '_' is currently winning,
although it's hard to say whether that is limited to older interfaces.

$ prefix='\(attribute\|element\) name=.[^'\''"]*'
$ git grep "${prefix}[A-Z]" docs/schemas/ | wc
     14      42     977
$ git grep "${prefix}-" docs/schemas/ | wc
     29      87    1925
$ git grep "${prefix}_" docs/schemas/ | wc
     45     135    3075

But I personally don't like _, and think camelCase or - is nicer, so I
could live with this change if we get consensus.

The patch is accurate, but I don't want to give ACK without more
agreement on what naming convention we want for new XML (we should
probably patch HACKING to enforce a style if we have consensus).  You
are correct that once 1.0.5 is released it will be too late to change,
so now is the time to decide.
