I would also suggest a format for the types of properties. Right now there is a mix of camelCase, StudlyCaps, and under_scores. I prefer lowercased and underscored, which is also largely what we're using today. I think we should probably use existing systems where they make sense. Dublin Core is the most obvious of these, and we do use DC for certain properties. > I will change the names in the filter/backend code and accordingly > change it in beagle-search code.

Such an invasive change I would prefer live on its own in case we want to do another release in the meantime. This will also give people an opportunity to get client apps in line before we release it.
