I'm aware of the naming conventions we use, but the source tarball as well as the name of the website use camelcase. For most packages this is common, but for other it isn't, e.g. java packages.

I'll add the meta attributes ASAP

The directory name and ‘name’ attribute should be lower-case with
hyphens between words [0].  And a ‘meta’ attribute would be welcome.

Don’t be so eager to play!  ;-)

Thanks,
