Strictly speaking, namespace is neither a class nor a method, so isn't it
outside the scope of this RFC? In fact, RFC: Class Naming makes no mention of
namespace naming conventions at all. I asked this because there was mention of
namespaces in the `DOM`.
If I'm not misunderstanding something, I think I should clarify that RFCs also
include namespaces.
Namespaces are defined as CamelCase (i.e. upper camel case / PascalCase)
in the “Namespaces in bundled PHP Extensions” RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaces_in_bundled_extensions#proposal
The phrasing in the RFC is intentionally worded to speak about
abbreviations and acronyms in a generic way (i.e. not specific to
classes or methods). It naturally follows that the same rules applies to
acronyms in namespaces, especially since they are effectively part of a
class name.
------------------------------
However I agree that it should be incorporated explicitly once the
existing policies in the policy repository have been cleaned up and
rewritten as a follow-up to the
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/policy-repository RFC:
Once (and if) this RFC is accepted, a first new step would be to rephrase the
text so that it reads like a policy document, instead of an RFC. The wording is
currently exactly as in the used RFCs, without modification.
That has not yet happened, though.
