Subject: Re: DocBook: The Definitive Guide upper case writing of attributes


/ Karsten Ohme <widerstand@t-online.de> was heard to say:
| Hello,
|
| In the DocBook: The Definitive Guide
|
| http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html
|
| there are some description of attributes, where the letter are in
| upper case.
|
| E.g. XRefLabel is actually xreflabel. This should be clarified.

This is a holdover from the SGML days when case was insignificant
and CamleCase was used for aesthetic reasons. Over time, I expect
TDG to migrate to all lowercase.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
