Masterview devel - Sep 2006 - Proposed change to default directive attribute formula

I''ve got a one-liner change to modify the default directive attribute
name
derived from a class name so that std. camel casing can be used on directive
class names.

Ex. rename Image_tag to ImageTag and still get directive mv:image_tag

Existing directive class names with underscore-lowercase names are fine, but
can be changed to follow normal ruby class naming convention as convenient.

Any objection?  I think this is actually more consistent with general Rails
name mapping conventions, e.g., std mapping between class names and file
names.

Only problem would be if someone was actually using a mixed-case directive
attribute (like... say, the TestDirective unit test fixture you had in
example test case that I had to fix!); don''t think that''s
likely if people
were following the lowercase-plus-underscore convention of the builtin
directives.  You can always explictly specify :attribute_name in metadata
decl to override default value.

Had intended to hold off on submitting this until you''d had a chance to
point out any flaws in my justification that this won''t introduce any
compat
problems, but accidently committed the updated test case along with some
other unrelated changes, so just went ahead and committed this.

Todo: change class names in masterview/directives which used underscores
back to normal ruby CamelCase naming convention.

Seems like a good update to me.  The more consistency the better.
