I am renaming this thread from "Config XSD naming convention" to "Config files naming conventions" because it is not just about the XSD, so let me rephrase:
I find the mixed use of naming conventions messy and confusing and for lack of a better term, not very "pro" as in "professional". I'd like to use the following convention in the XML configs, which I've used in the log events XSD: - Elements are CamelCase - Attributes are camelCase This is just like ClassNames and instanceVariables in Java and other languages. This means that I would also like to change names I am sure I am not alone in finding abhorrent: "some-ref", which would become SomeRef for an element and someRef for an attribute. The fact that the current code is case-insensitive is an oddity I'd rather not document such that XML Validation can work based on the conventions above. At work, we generate Log4j 1 configurations from a proprietary GUI tool, and soon Log4j 2 :) so any perceived convenience of case-insensitivity is not only wasted on us but also can lead to false errors when used with XML validation. It's always a good idea to validate XML as a sanity check before sending it out in the real world.
