Potential objection to normalizing the case: ns_params for CGI

Ns_param set {{variable_name} {value}}
Don't know if there are more like this. We have used a similar
configuration for setting java properties, though, and IIRC, at least
some of those required mixed-case names (ClassStuff.propertyName).
Yes. This is right. This would be a problem. We must pass them
thru as-is w/o modification. This of course limits the choice
of backends...
I wonder who was that bright guy who wrote that in the beggining
and allowed people to play with case?! Damn.
Thanks for pointing this out!
