I tried for a few jiffies to find pointers.  I did find a few related
messages written around or before 2012-05, but not that one containing
Bastien's decision.  The simplest would be to write Bastien directly
(hoping he remembers).  Do you read us, Bastien?

Whatever the decision about capitals is retained or reversed, I would
surely like if the manual was using one convention consistently, and
that Org mode itself, while recognizing any capitalization, was
consistently generating the same which the manual uses, of course.

An option could of course change how Org operates, but it would not
change the manual.  The default or implicit value for that option should
then be consistent with the manual.
