Since Keith has shamed me into digging back through his original fields proposal, I thought I'd toss a trivial design question out there to see what people think. What should our naming convention be for field types? 1. alllowercase 2. MixedCase 3. mostlyMixedCase 4. what_eric_started_with 5. lukes-latest-variant This is essentially a stylistic question, but it might help to think about which precedent we'd like to follow for maximum readability. The places these field types are most likely to appear are: - in the file format - in the Insert Field dialog - in the object model used for scripting Thus, I'm not sure whether the relevant precedent should be: - the Word UI - the RTF file format - conventions for various scripting languages (JavaScript, Python, etc.) Since we're going to be changing the file format anyhow (to add field containers), I'd prefer that we settle this issue once to minimize future disruptions. Would someone be willing to spend a little time investigating the various alternatives here? Seeding consensus with a well-researched suggestion would be a heck of a lot better than a mini-flame-war based on personal preferences. Thanks, Paul
