Comment:

 My two cents. I would say that for an official spec, having a standard of
 syntax especially for technical terms, having it uniform helps avoid any
 possible confusion and helps the grepping! That's also because of my OCD
 ;).

 Food for thought: in tor code, we have two occurrences of `CircID`, one in
 a comment and the other in a log message where we have much more `circID`.
 So, if we are serious about fixing this, I would pick one standard and fix
 it in all spec/proposals and tor code. It's not that many but if the
 effort to standardize those is made, I think it's worth merging in the
 end.

 I would pick `CircID` as it's the one we use to define the cell ABI in the
 spec.
