Folks,
We here in Multics have always wanted to see a rule that hostnames may
be translated to upper case, but that the original case be preserved if
possible.
We are good losers, though, so the tendency to uppercase everything
don't bother us too much.
The random initial capitalization intruduced by, for example, YorkCOM,
is a bit too much. Mit-Xx? Someone has got to be joshing me.
Either we allow case of names of people and hosts to be meaningful, or
not. If the answer is no, this pseudo-heuristic is pretty silly.
