The naming is fine. The problem is more one of a technical nature: If 
we apply the current naming-filter to field names some will change. 
Again some examples:

xproto.xml:
  angle1 -> angle_1
  data8 -> data_8

glx.xml
  data1 -> data_1

I like your proposal to do special casing for some names. We already 
handle DECnet -> decnet separatly, so I would only need to add a few 
entries to a list. And the API would not break [1].

As an aside: If I had known how much time this would waste I would 
have voted to keep the old api as well :-)

[1] The API would break in some structs and replies. 
    E.g. randr.xml: struct RefreshRates has a field
    nRates which would change to n_rates.
