ISO 11179

Hej

ISO 11179 is often used as a naming standard for very large xml standardization
efforts. Personally I feel that it leads to some of the ugliest and most
unusable names in xml. The argument I am hearing for its usage is well, these
other projects do it (which reminds me of my moms arguments for me not jumping
off cliffs) and it is good to have a naming standard so as to not risk repeating
types etc. when you already have them.

Please, any commentaries on ISO 11179 usage either for or against.
