Thanks very much to Ken and others who confirmed that, in fact, CCTS
2.01 does prohibit camel case in DENs.
One way around this is to observe that our rules make the Oxford English
Dictionary normative and that both "pre" and "post" are recognized with
word entries in that dictionary, though clearly the editors disapproved
of such usages. Of "post" as "the Latin preposition meaning 'after'"
used "with English words and phrases" the editors say "Usu. found in
contexts where _after_ would be equally appropriate and more agreeable",
but they nevertheless give four recent citations beginning in 1965 for
uses no more egregious than what we would have here. "Non" also gets a
word entry, but no citations showing it appearing outside certain Latin
phrases used in English; we might actually stretch the rule here, but I
don't think we have to. So one solution is to make the DENs
Notification Requirement. Post Event Notification Duration. Measure
Notification Requirement. Pre Event Notification Duration. Measure
Transportation Service. Nonsupported_ Transport Equipment. Transport Equipment
Transportation Service. Nonsupported_ Commodity Classification. Commodity Classification
Or perhaps even better, make the last two
Transportation Service. Unsupported_ Transport Equipment. Transport Equipment
Transportation Service. Unsupported_ Commodity Classification. Commodity Classification
Will either of these work?
