A few more minor updates for the Naming Conventions section:
...
- recommend that all new libraries use the standards, but point out that
internal consistency with existing standards is more important.
- Use b and B instead of x and X (it's hard to distinguish the case of X in
some fonts)
- StudlyCaps is another name for CapWords
- Re-order list so Function Names are followed by Method Names. Also, added a
few blank lines in the Method Names section, and described how underscores
should separate words for readability.
- Added that double leading underscore is usually only necessary to resolve
name conflicts in subclasses.

Roger <roger.haase@usa.net> points out that "mixed case" is

inconsistently used both to describe mixedCase and MixedCase.
MixedCase should really be CapWords, reserving mixedCase for the
situation where the first letter is lowercased.
Also, add a comment that MixedCase is sometimes called CamelCase.
Note that the existing most common case usage is that CamelCase has an
initial capitalized letter.
