Yup, we are on the same page. It's not too grave a mistake (we said "these are command names and do not have to be able to contain random letters" and deliberately did without the usual three-level hierarchy; I think the reasoning is even more valid for pager.*), but it does imply case insensitivity not to use three-level names, and I think it is a good move.
