XHTML is case sensitive, for this reason i think we should stick to a
lowercase naming.

For example you would like to theme CamelCase:
div.CamelCase != div.camelcase
When you look at drupal.css and many other modules you will see that
many/all of them are using lowercase classes an id's.

So somebody without a solid CSS knowledge would use .camelcase instead
of .CamelCase an starting to file Bugreports.

IMHO a simple and clear naming has more pros than cons look at PHP:
is ist var_dump() or vardump()? is it gettype() or get_type()?

lowercase with '-' instead of '_' makes the best sense for me.
so we had #camelcase #image-import #og-gmap, #audioblog
