(Why do people call baStudly syle "camel"? Is there somewhere in the world a species of camel with three or four humps, like XmlNodeSansChildren?)
camelCase differs from StudlyCaps in the case of the first character (that is, XmlNodeSansChildren is *not* camelCase). You missed the African gender prefix "ba-". You will note that "baStudlyCaps" also does not start with a capital. But you will also note that people talk a great deal about "camel case" when they are referring to Java class names, which *do* begin with a capital letter. Think of XmlNodeSansChildren as a three-humped camel with its head raised, and xmlNodeListSize as a three-humped camel with its head lowered. Same kind of weird off-world camel.
