Hi Joseph

We wouldn't want to imply that any particular naming convention
is "prescribed" by ISO 11179. The point of an ISO 11179 semantic
registry is that one can base interoperability on concepts and
data element meanings rather than based on the names that happen
to be given to data elements according to some lexical or syntactic
convention. In fact, the ISO 11179 naming style you mention as in
vogue at the moment will be changing soon:
