Glance through some of the user notes on the site and you'll see
that some folks prefer to use UPPER-CASE <?PHP as opposed to
lower-case <?php. It's always worked just fine. In fact, I remember
a PHP3 site that someone wrote (.phtml and .php3 files!) that used
UPPER-CASE in every file, including for variables and functions. I
don't remember having to modify that part to work (but thinking how
much I'd love to break the person's CAPS LOCK off the keyboard
permanently).

From this, I gather you meant to send this to Internals, but
still, I wouldn't anticipate any change in case-sensitivity regarding
any part of the engine that hasn't yet required such. Opening tags,
functions, operators, et cetera. User-defined things like variables
will be case-sensitive, of course, but only the lamest of the lame
would appreciate otherwise. ;-P
