Use colon separator or kebab-case for method-specific DID parameter names?

[brentzundel]

@peacekeeper moved from CCG (w3c-ccg/did-spec#199)

[OR13]

I assumed this was colon based.... most of the examples I have seen use colons...

Blocked by matrix parameter decision.... (link to blocking issue) (my opinion always...)

[talltree]

@OR13 is correct—this is currently waiting on a decision about #159.

Isn't initial-value kebab-case @OR13? I've not seen anything other than kebab-case now that I'm thinking about it. Can you link me to one?

I assumed method specific parameters was regarding the last example ^

it would be ion:initial-state, elem:initial-state, etc...

[peacekeeper]

This issue was about whether to use a : or a - to separate the method name from the parameter name, in which case you couldn't use the - anymore in parameter names themselves.

So you'd have something like ion-initialstate instead of ion:initial-state.

Since we already have parameter names that use -, and since the : is already the familiar character for separating a method name, I don't think this issue makes much sense anymore.

I'll close unless @talltree or someone else objects.
