I do not agree with this line of reasoning at all. After all, do we have confusion about the case differences between: [COLOR] diff = true [color] UI = false But I also do not overly care. Literally zero people have complained that "[log]date = RFC822" is not accepted, so it is probably not a big deal either way. -Peff
