Re: [sca-bindings] CamelCase convention recommendation from OpenCSAliaison committee

[Eric Johnson <eric@tibco.com>]

Hi Anish,

I'm not opposed to this change, but....

If we change the capitalization of our policy intents, have we broken 
backwards compatibility?  Do we need to preserve that, by perhaps 
supporting both new and old forms, but mark the old form as deprecated?  
Or is the version # 1.1 really meaningless in terms of compatibility?

-Eric.
