Yes, except that without capitalization of drivers and dma, there is no
way to distinguish between the two uses of hyphens: in a name
(linux-2.6.24) or to separate names in a path (drivers-dma).  So I would
say capitalization or something besides a hyphen is needed in a full
path.

Thanks for pointing out that we are already coping in various ways.  I
just did see what you are saying.  I still think consistency from using
a single convention would be better.  Fortunately, we do not even have
to change any of the great work that has already been done, since the
convention would be sufficient *at this early point* to distinguish all
cases overall.

While I am aware of Oscar Wilde's saying(*), I think that consistency is
a natural albeit minor expectation in something like *verification*
work, if only for the sake of newcomers to gNS.
