Hi Paul,
No doubt you are correct that HN is "more of a standard" than XFB. But that
was not my point. I am trying to say that NEITHER is yet widely adopted in
ColdFusion circles, and that I therefore have to choose whether either is
worth taking on as an early adopter.
My experience with Web development, and ColdFusion in particular, tells me
that a substantial chunk of the people I work with have not come from a
coding background. I am one of those non-coding people. Many of these, and
a whole lot of "true" coders as well, find HN naming non-intuitive,
intimidating, etc.
So I make my highly subjective decision that XFB is more likely to catch on,
and furthermore, that the benefits to be gained are MUCH greater.
In short, I don't want to intimidate and alienate my co-workers when the
potential gains are marginal. Once again, a subjective decision ;-)
Of course, there's no GREAT downside in trying HN. It has no architectural
ramifications, etc. I like the idea of naming conventions, and I certainly
use a few myself, but HN has always been highly controversial. Many love
it. Even more hate it. Chances are that when I go for a comprohensive
naming scheme, HN wouldn't be it.
Thanks for caring ;-)
LeeBB.

But, it is hard for me to swallow this logic. If you ask me...and I
dare to
say, if you ask most developers, you'll find that Hungarian Notation is
much
more of a standard, and much farther past "the threshhold" than XFB
is....by
a long shot.
