There are zillions of such conventions.
We notice them when people don't follow them:
- bad indenting
- using unconventional namespace prefixes
- putting attributes in a namespace without good justification
- encoding information into element names that should be in attributes
- using mixed content for data when the content is meaningless without the
tags
- using meaningless element names
- attaching meaning to things that should be irrelevant, like comments or
CDATA delimiters
