Re: [xml-dev] Should one adopt the tag naming convention of an existing XML vocabulary or create one's own tag naming convention?
You are constructing a straw man: I didn't use any of those words and you may have missed the point. The terminology and usage in the business domain is more stable and consistent than the collective opinions of a development team that is working independently of the business domain. The fact that the world changes and is messy does not mean that developer convenience trumps business usage.

If anything, the, hmmm, real world is anything but orderly.
