We examined many implementations before proposal. Many implementations (such as Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and many other network devices) display lower case. I would like to ask simple question. Can we change many implementations? I think that is too late. lowercase is already "de fact standard".

Although the comments about "lazy" are specious, I support requiring uppercase display simply from the viewpoint of easy recognition by those of us with less-than-perfect visual acuity. There probably is no other strong reason except apparent consistency of display which, in itself, is a good t
