You mean for snapshots right?  Yes, the maven convention for snapshots is to use -SNAPSHOT, and we're stuck with this because maven required it, and thinks that lower case "-snapshot" is actually a release.

The maven convention for releases, however is to use all lower case for the qualifier.  For example, 1.1-alpha-1.

Currently our conventions is to used mixed case (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossProductVersioning).

This will work fine with maven if we only specify exact version numbers.  But with ranges we probably won't get the desired behaviour.
