Unfortunately, there is sufficient lack of harmony in the capitalisation (and
such) of element and attribute names that I'm not confident that we will resolve
this issue by quoting past practice.  I would suggest that we are going to end
up having to vote.  The only question I would have is whether we should seek
input from outside this TC to get a better statistical view.

     Cheers,
          Tony.
