View source for WikiNames vs. Normal Titles

__NOTOC__
This Wiki has two simple link syntaxes:
# [[WikiName]] style, where you [[JoinCapitalizedWords]] to show that it's the name
  if a Wiki document (or object about which there is a Wiki document?).
# "Normal Titles" style [ "Like This"]

Which is better?

Advantages of [[WikiName]]''''''s:
* They are '''very''' easy to type
* They are somewhat distinctive; you might recognize something as a [[WikiName]] 
  even in another context.   Probably not, though, now that such names are
  seen practically everywhere
* They map to URIs and thus [[SemanticWeb]] identifiers easily, once you know
  the appropriate namespace/prefix.

Advantages of Normal Titles:
* You don't need to mangle terms like W3C, RDF, XML, and HTML to get them into a name
* It makes Wiki pages more like other web pages; why should there be a big differences?

In general, web page identifiers are not a function of the title.
You can change the title without changing the URI. Not so for
titles-used-as-wiki-names.

The [[WikiWikiWeb]] medium takes away this degree of freedom as a conscious
choise, I think. -- [[DanConnolly]]

Actually, you take away this choice yourself, since it's just the ''combination'' of "free" wiki titles and then again using "free" link texts that is hard (not impossible) to add. Free link text is done by [[WikiNames_20vs_2e_20Normal_20Titles|this page refers to itself]], and this example also shows the combo of both things being "free". -- JÃ¼rgenHermann [[DateTime(2003-03-29T08:37:35)]]

I'm leaning toward using [[WikiName]]''''''s for topics that contribute to the pattern language we're building,
but since we're doing lots of stuff besides building a pattern language here, there's not much
reason for using [[WikiName]]''''''s for things like [[CwmTips]]; might as well be "SWAP and cwm support".
The limitation about acronyms seems like something we shoulf fix, one for [[MoinMoinToDo]].
I find it kinda annoying that DanC isn't treated as a topic name.   (See 
[[AcronymsInWikiNames]].)
