At first I mistaken '-' and '_' in the other thread, but I explained
that later on.  However, this commit message didn't reflect that.  I
also had the feeling that the naming was mainly restricted for
attributes, not that much for elements, but of course it makes sense to
make it global.

I should've made myself clear enough that it is understandable that this
patch is more of a proposal, but I couldn't predict that the discussion
in the other thread will grow so fast in reactions (I hoped that this
will be the place to talk about our decision).

Sorry for rushing it so much, we have enough time before 1.0.5 and I'll
wait (of course) for some final decision on how the final XML should
look like.

Thanks,
Martin
