I think I am changing my position on some aspects of case sensitiviy ... I simply made too many assumptions about case insensitivity. For example, there are a large number of assumptions that amino acid residue names are UPPER CASE.
There are some similar issues with insertion codes, although it is not as pervasive. So, I am going to restart the discussion ... Q: In addition to 'chainID', are there any other fields that should be case-sensitive?
