Bah - deleted the list and sent directly to Chris ... time to go to bed.
The advantage of the former is that if you want to use a different name,
it's a smaller change. But the disadvantage of the former is that if you
*don't* want to rename, it violates DRY (don't repeat yourself).
The difference is so marginal that I'd leave it to personal preference, and
wouldn't pull someone up for either in a code review.
