CSS naming conventions mkII
Eric Meyer elaborates a bit more why he thinks a discussion regarding naming convenions is important. I do agree with him in general - it does make life easier for beginners. But I think the discussion is now being diverted into CSS structuring - in additon to naming standards (ie his LVHA example).
Anyhow, if I *would* be an author, web standards evangelist or some sort of web design teaching pro, I'd most definitely set up my own standards - based on remarks and recommendations such as Eric's.
It's probably my "upbringing" as a commercial apps developer that's made me aware of writing readable code - based on departmental or general standards. My final judgement therefore is a thumbs-up for any kind of thinking around general standards - and maybe one day these will be included into basic validation in Dreamweaver or GoLive - or even supported by IE !? Dream on !
