... I just did an experiment which involved running the Python script appended below over the Library Reference index. The results were:

Total names: 1908 lowernames: 1684 Percent lower: 88.2599580713 An 88% majority seems like a fairly clear vote to me. :-)

More importantly, lower_names are correct. This gets confused in PythonLand because some major contributors (like Zope Corp) have institutionalized aWrongPolicy for naming methods. If you don't believe me, ask Barry. I believe him on this issue because he just can't be wrong about everything .
