It sounds like I should use the traditional OL convention:

classname attributename eventname methodName

OpenLaszlo is XML, and XML is case-sensitive.  Because of history (HTML, 
case-insensitive, but usually written lowercase), we chose to use lower-case for the 
OpenLaszlo core API's.  I don't see this changing as it would be a massive, mostly 
gratuitous API change.  The existing components suite follows this model for the most 
part.  We are planning on revising our components and could revisit this decision, but I 
don't see any compelling reason to do so.  Personally, I find the all lower-case style in 
LZX to be easy on the eye.  Even more so when compare to the namespace 
"screech" names in Flex (:P).

Obviously, OpenLaszlo applications can choose any naming scheme that works well 
for them.  Personally, I would be concerned that it would be an impediment to 
development if I have to remember whether an attribute is a core attribute, a 
component attribute, or one of my own attributes to decide the proper casing.  
Perhaps with the right IDE this is not a problem.

My 2p.
