There is no policy for this. If you can find a dominant style in the 
currently existing config files we can adopt this as the "recommended 
style". I don't think this is very important though... as long as the 
one who writes it uses the same name as the one who reads it.

It would be nice if there was some better documentation about which 
application uses which option and what the meaning of these options is. 
You might be able to generate a script which extracts this information 
out of the source code. (The developer would have to fill in the 
description himself of course.) 

Cheers,
Waldo
