IMO, strong, both the eescema design and the xml netlist should have referential integrity. How does it look to give someone an xml file and say, all the references are case insensitive, other than hoaky? The referential integrity of the xml file Is established by the referential integrity within the design files, schematic and libraries, or by the lack of such referential integrity. Future processors of the xml file will hinge on this decision, which I have just voiced a strong opinion on. I will yield to Jean-Pierre and Wayne however, saving my capital for larger issues. Certainly fixing eeschema will break designs, unless somebody can think of a fix point where eeschema can heal the design.
