Naming Convention in CSS - Snook.ca
There are naming conventions in JavaScript and I'm sure every serious language has them, so I think it's weird that there really isn't such a thing for CSS (yet).

Adrian Roselli: No DHTML, Please
Somehow the term HTML5 got picked up by marketers and in those circles it means something like geolocation video with animated rounded corners OMG!! I don't consider that to be a problem. If I tell a client we'll use HTML5 he's satisfied and happy, it's that easy.
