The copy of the specs i have state that
All structural elements of an xPL message . ie all header fields ,schema
class and type names of name/value pairs ,must contain only the following
characters:
A-Z,a-z and 0 to 9........

So it shouldnt matter....and my tvosd and lcdosd both do a check on case
when parsing a received message......
