perhaps, but

*The value of _atom_sites_alt.id <http://atom_sites_alt.id> must uniquely
identify a record in the ATOM_SITES_ALT list. Note that this item need not
be a number; it can be any unique identifier.*


So just because at this point in time all are upper case, it can, in
principle, be upper or lower case. I would rather not change the behavior.
People who write their own PDB files could distinguish A from a.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
