Hi Tony, Norm, Lauren and all;

My vote goes with "camelCase" or "CamelCase", and my reason is the same as 
Lauren's.

Regards,
David Leland

Which would be proposal number 6? If we're figuring out which of 1-
5, why not 1-6?

The main reason I don't like all lower, or all upper, is that the words 
run together. Almost anything that solves that problem gets my 
vote.
