We've adopted this same coding standard for all our code at for this exact reason. We also use CamelCase for classes (although old SciPy code use lower case for everything), and lowercase for methods, variables, and functions exactly as you have advised. So, I'm all in favor of these becoming standard. :-)

I hope the young are absorbing this valuable lesson. Young ones, if you simply do the objectively correct thing, instead of arguing about it or (maybe even worse) wondering what it is, you'll conform to Guido's pronouncements well before they're made, saving everyone a lot of typing and grief.
