I do as well, except for types.  A different namespace is needed, which
is why "types are capitalized" is a common convention in many languages.

The distinction is quite important in this case since it is common to
have both types and properties with the 'same' name (often the type is
the range of the property), but you can not use the same URI for both.
This is why (in RDF) it's not really a personal style preference, but a
nearly universal convention.
