It makes it a recommeded standard which can still serve some purposes.
Personally, I don't see the big deal if someone wants to call a method like
this $this->empy_cart versus $this->emptyCart.
In the case of PHPLIB it is probably creating alot of unnecessary work,
headache and backward incompatabilities to try to convert to the PEAR
standard.
I agree that standards are useful but we can get on a slippery slope here
that tries to standardize too much. What is true of the moderately
applied precept is not true when taken to extremes.
