Possible harm of "strong" and narrow defined SHOULD NOT seems to be less. This goes through DEs review anyway, so they can definitely make the right call.

Maybe hypothetical, maybe not - depending where we land in all 
discussions around camel case, all lowcase etc. If the recommendation 
would turn some of existing extensions to be on the wrong side then 
changing case of an existing registration may be a real scenario.

Anyway I don't want to spend too much time on this issue.

Kind regards,
