Accessor method naming (a question)

Quoting from Apple's coding guidelines, located at: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CodingGuidelines/index.html

<quote>
"If the attribute is expressed as a verb, the format is:

- (void)setVerbObject:(BOOL)flag;

- (BOOL)verbObject;

For example:

- (void)setShowsAlpha:(BOOL)flag;
- (BOOL)showsAlpha;"
<quote/>

NSView defines "isHidden" and "setHidden".  Shouldn't this be "isHidden" and "setIsHidden"?  If not, then Accessorizor won't work, because if your ivar is name "isHidden", it will produce "setIsHidden".  I guess the question is, how serious a violation of the coding rules is "setIsHidden" as opposed to "setHidden"?
