I think for variables, this lowercase-lowercase-lowercaseis great! for macros, which creates global variables in scope of a tiddler, I prefer your camelCase naming! I think this is better than PascalCase! I saw a recommendation not to use hyphens and use underscores instead! Especially in Python we cannot do this! Many other languages do no not allow hyphens, but I see in Tiddlywiki it is quite common and we have the same in CSS like font-size!
