On the one hand, I agree it visually looks better, and it's more consistent
with other EE XML descriptors. On the other hand, it will prevent the
ability to refer to classes that start with a lowercase letter (there aren't
many of these, but I've seen them in at least one third party package).
Also, it will be more complicated to learn/explain the rules (I can already
hear in my head one of my coworkers complaining).
A few months ago I would have felt more strongly about <foo-bar> being
superior, but lately I've grown to accept <FooBar> as being perfectly
acceptable. I'll be happy either way.
