[SVN] Naming considerations for language elements/rules

[Chris Thomas]

Changing the element naming is no problem, of course. But I don't 
understand something:

text.html
embedded.ruby
source.ruby
strings.double-quoted.ruby        -- matches “strings” (and would match 
“strings.double-quoted”)
strings.interpolation.ruby           -- matches “strings” and 
“strings.interpolated”

The element “strings.interpolation.ruby” would match “strings” and 
“strings.interpolation”, but largest element-name subset match 
(“strings.interpolation”) doesn't take precedence because the 
interpolation is already embedded in “strings”?

Put another way, if I have both “strings” and “strings.double-quoted” 
specified in a style sheet, wouldn’t  “strings”  have the same 
precedence as “string.double-quoted”? If that's true, then we probably 
need to revisit a lot of the keyword naming.
