No. There are guidelines that have a clear technical reason. An example: The 'preceding-sibling' and 'following-sibling' axes SHOULD NOT used. A server is only required to maintain the relative XML document order of all instances of a particular user-ordered list or leaf-list. This is very different from guidelines how things should be named that do not have a real technical reason. In SMIv2 land, we had this weird rule that names of counters should end with a plural 's' and tools started to implement this and to complain if there was no plural s. (Actually, tools checked whether the last character is an s, which of course does not mean there is a plural form.) And of course, there are irregular nouns in English wrt. plural forms. I do not want rules that say '-state' should not be used. There may be valid reasons to use '-state'. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
