Braille doesn't use uppercase or lowercase in its text form. It uses the comma, (,), as the computer braille dot 6, so actual acpitalization in files isn't messed with, and it makes it easier since so many 8-dot reading modes of braille displays show dots 7 and 8, of which dot 7 would be up if the file was in upper-case.
