Your understanding is consistent with what Wikipedia says.  There's no
explanation of *why* the change in case, though.  My guess is that
changing it from all-caps to mostly-lower-case in 1990 was, at heart,
a change from proclaiming proudly that one used the language to
whispering it, probably out of embarrassment that people were still
using such ridiculously out-of-date language technology... :) :) :)
