Yes, I recall its funny "historical note" about "upper case".
That won't help with any obscure id-(domain / right) issues.

"News servers SHOULD compare a msg-id respecting its case,
 but MAY also compare id-(domain / right) case-insensitively,
 and therefore posting agents SHOULD NOT create any msg-id
 differing from another msg-id only in the case of the
 id-(domain / right)."

A headache for USEPRO.  But it might be what s-o-1036 said.
At the moment USEPRO has:

| NOTE: Some old software may treat message identifiers that
| differ only in case within their <id-right> part as equivalent,
| and implementors of agents that generate message identifiers
| should be aware of this.
