my argument for the above, is:

The problem with using camelCase on @attributes, is that it 
implies nothing special about it (the attribute), at all.

It is common practice to use camelCase for things like variables, 
function names, etc... i.e. things that hold something, or do 
something.

Whereas an @attribute is essentially a predicate.

You are proclaiming a static declaration, that will apply to what 
follows.

As such, it deserves to stand out, with a different naming 
convention.

That is: all @lowercase, but when required, @snake_case.
