I'd vote for CSS style naming.  Anyone else care?

For the names, I'd have:
 xmlhttp (maybe xml-http)?
 internal-frames
 trinidad-partial-rendering

Currently we have the internal capability:

-adfinternal-partialRendering

How about we replaces these with three public capability:

xmlhttp (true/false)
iframes (true/false)
trinidad-partialRendering (true/false)

One thing about naming--it seems the capabilities use an odd mix of
dashes and camelcase.  E.g. I would either expect
_adfinternalPartialRendering (Java style) or
-adfinternal-partial-rendering (CSS style).  If we decide to change
this, then the last property would be

trinidadPartialRendering

or

trinidad-partial-rendering

Take care,

Joey
