Dear Robert,

Thank you very much for your comments!

I do not have a chance to review the P802.11REVme D3.0 and provide you an example, but it falls into things like "No-Fragmentation field vs No-fragmentation field" you have mentioned.

Regards,
Edward

Hello Edward,

 

Could you provide some examples?

 

We have a general rule that we don’t capitalize terms. So I presume you are talking about names (which we do capitalize). Do you mean things like

No-Fragmentation field vs No-fragmentation field

 

My personal opinion is that we should capitalize all words in a name, even the word after the hyphen (e.g., Flim-Flam field). And further should capitalize conjunctions and prepositions in the name as well (e.g., Flim After Flam field, Flim With Flam field, Flim And Flam field, etc.)

Dear Robert and all,

 

Do you have any comment or suggestion on the following REVme comment on hyphenation?

---

We need to reach consensus on whether hyphenated terms in uppercase context have all initial letters capitalised or only the very first one

---

Thanks and Regards,
Edward
