http://www.w3.org/2002/Talks/0715-duerst-iri/slide2-0.html indicates

5) Consumers who want to see the world as IRIs (not browsers but
e.g. GRDDL extractors) run the following algorithm to convert a rel
keyword to an IRI:
a) Replace A-Z with a-z.
this becomes http://www.w3.org/people/dürst, which is not

Correct. So it follows that it's a really bad idea to mint IRI-looking
rel keywords that contain letters A-Z.
This is a bit inelegant but the legacy is constraining us here.
