Thanks. I know the difference :) I meant in method selectors include: vs 
includes:

No I would write is 

isPreservingCDataSections
doesPreserveCDataSections

for me 
        preservesCDataSection: 
should better be written as 
        preserveCDataSections:

Because I do not have to think if I should put an S or not.

Yes but it looks like an order too and I do not understand the difference 
between 
using 
        preserveSCD....
and 
        parseDocument (with no S after parseDocument)

I follow Beck and Smalltalk with Style (see my web page) convention.
