Do you expect the ASCII part will eventually change too? If I can count on ASCII, that means I can pretty much count on the fact that foreign languages such as Chinese and Arabic, that do not have capitalization, will never be used for package names. And if that's always going to be the case, then it seems like the capitalization thing may as well just be a rule and not a convention. Of course, even if such languages are eventually supported, it could still be a rule with an exception for such languages. I guess what I am saying, from the other way round, is if it's not going to be a rule, why even bother with the convention?
