In my opinion the change to titlecase isn't worth it. There aren't enough problems with lowercase() to justify such a sweeping change. Also keeping lower case allows compiled tables to survive upgrades/downgrades.
Worse: There are likely user-supplied tables that depend on lowercase input. Both the mysql and pgsql tables make it easy to configure case-sensitive queries, which switching to titlecase would break. I think titlecase is definitely out.
(Btw, I wrote tolower() instead of lowercase() once or twice in the previous message. Sorry.)
