Still, I agree >that things are converging -- the sooner the better. Well I LIKE Mike Feldman's choice (upper keywords, lower identifiers - we used to call it "Upper Case Sropping" - remember?). It has the advantage that it easily converts to bold-case stropping for published material. What I think what all are agreed on is that the original choice in the LRM (lower (or bold) keywords, upper identifiers) was the worst possible convention. -- Charles H.
