Yes, but that policy fights with Python, leading to bad combinations. The first time I had to say something like "ZPythonScriptHTML_changePrefs" to a customer over the phone, I realized that the mixed conventions are a real problem.

BTW, I assume this discussion is only about refining the conventions for method and function names. CamelCase for class names is still recommended, right?
