The standard is quite clear on the recommended formatting, and also that language codes are case insensitive.
Internally MediaWiki uses lowercase language codes, and unfortunately those are exposed in user visible places such as when used as subpage for mediawiki namespace messages or translatable pages. This makes it hard to reach consistency.
For example when Babel categories were changed to the recommended formatting, it wasn't without controversy.
