Forgot to mention another option in my original
posting.

How about going with the spelling in the IBIS
specification.  So for example an I/O_open_source
would be spelled IBIS_IO_open_source?

I would favor consistency vs. simplicity.  It is
easier to remember that than having to many different
ways of spelling the same thing...

This is also my thinking about the node ordering,
by the way.

My vote is all caps - simplest and boldest is best.

Another nitpicking question...

How should we spell the building block names?
Should they be all upper case?  Should they follow the grammar rules,
upper case when they are acronyms, but normal spelling when they are
not?

For example,

IBIS_VCVS would be all upper case, because it is an acronym.
IBIS_VCVS_Mult would be mixed, because Mult is not an acronym.
IBIS_Input would be mixed, because Input is not an acronym.
IBIS_IO would be upper case, because IO is an acronym.

etc...  If we did this with the mixed case as shown here, should the
words be capitalized: IBIS_Input vs. IBIS_input?

Comments, suggestions?

Thanks,

Arpad
