It's not common practice everywhere (I know of as many places that follow the C++ standard naming conventions as those that follow what I'll call "Java" naming conventions). But the important thing is that the whole point of Boost is to be a test bed and development area for libraries that *might* be considered for inclusion in the standard. As such, we have to follow the standard naming conventions.
I like the fact that boost follows the standard naming convention. We use boost as an extension to the standard and as such, can easily differentiate between our code (which follows more closely your afformentioned Java convention) and STL/boost etc. Cheers Russell
