I know this is become common practice, but I've been told by two different HCI specialists that studies have shown CamelBackNotation to be harder for non-native speakers to read than underbar_separated_text, particularly when acronyms are part of the name. If anyone has a pointer to an original reference for this, I'd be grateful. Thanks, Greg
