I have always regarded that with horror, but it's a matter of personal
taste.
Names are there to identify objects, not to contain all the properties of
the object. Don't try to pack them with bit-significant meaning; apart from
anything else, you don't want to change the name of something when its
properties change.
The main debate about naming is the scope of uniqueness of a name. Should
the title of a chapter have the same element name as the title of a section?
As far as the internal syntax of a name is concerned, the only important
thing is to try and be consistent: use hyphens or underscores or camelCase,
but not all three interchangeably.
