Details?  Note that it's not quite clear in many cases what the "right" style is for this stuff, since it lives at the interface between Gecko code and JSAPI and they have different styles.

This came up in bug 650295.  I think the main problem I've seen is that some arguments that aren't aFoo.

Olli in that comment: "Check the coding style of parameters.  If the example binding codegen uses wrong coding style, file a bug to get that fixed."

Personally, I think DOM style makes sense for the example generator, as it is making code that will probably live in dom/ or content/ or whatever.

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

Yeah, DOM style makes sense, since the code taking the examples live in dom.
So, aFoo and such.
