Now that we're rearranging the /controls/ subtree, it might be a good
time to clean up the naming.
1. Consistency
--------------
Most of the property names use lower case and hyphens ('-') as word
separators. I suggest that we fix the following to be consistent:
/controls/flight/BLC
/controls/engines/engine[%d]/WEP
/controls/fuel/tank[%d]/fuel_selector
/controls/fuel/tank[%d]/to_engine
/controls/fuel/tank[%d]/to_tank
/controls/electric/APU-generator
/controls/pneumatic/APU-bleed
2. Units
--------
In flightgear, we use suffixes for most property names to indicate the
units (such as /position/altitude-ft or /environment/wind-speed-kt).
Many of the control properties, however, are either normalized values
(0:1 or -1:1) or boolean flags.
Would it make sense to add suffixes to these as well?
/controls/flight/aileron-norm
/controls/gear/gear-down-flag
(or something similar)?
3. Switches
-----------
Note that Curt's electrical system has a /controls/switches subtree,
while the recent rewrite has a /controls/lighting subtree. We need to
choose one or the other.
All the best,
David
