I think it's a waste of everybody's time to even contemplate forcing
fallback transformations (which are a pain to program) when
perfectly straightforward capital form can be deduced, and has been

No you weren't - you were making explicit claims that lowercase is
harder to read than capitals. You said nothing about regulation.
