Design rules:

1. Capitalization Internal methods (except .toArray()) should have the first letter capitalized, so it's possible to distinguish between internal JavaScript methods and Simple.mvc ModelView object. methods.

2. Bracket vs Dot notation Older versions of IE don't accept the use of accessing a an object's property using dot- notation (obj.propertyName). However, accessing the property using bracket notation will work (obj['propertyName']).
