Yes, we have a convention for new styles: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Style-Requirements "In most cases the name should be written out in full, e.g. "journal-of-results.csl" instead of "jor.csl"" While that's not worded very firmly, in practice we've been spelling out all ids for new styles.
Changing IDs for existing styles seems trickier - I'm OK with using dependent styles for transition, we did that when we removed the Chicago styles w/o bibliography. Rintze is the main guardian of style naming, so he'd have to say. S.
