Thanks for opening the bug. I'll comment there.

This is an example for the issues I mean: if the attribute is supported
in CSS, it will probably be "headerVisible" (it's a bad example, but it
could be any property). So "HeaderVisible" would work in XWT, but not in
CSS. As I said, it's not a technical problem, but if we can come up with
orthogonal syntaxes, we'll get a system that is easier to use.
