Not to mention they don't make sense

"The initial letter of each word is capitalized, except the first word, if 
any, which is not."

So... we can't have any MathML documents in KDE then? Most MathML tags violate 
this rule.

Heck... existing XMLGUI files violate this rule ( see MenuBar, ToolBar, etc )

I don't see the point of arbitrary rules like this... they don't necessarily 
improve readability, and they don't help with validation, so why bother?
