Well I LIKE Mike Feldman's choice (upper keywords, lower identifiers - we used
to call it "Upper Case Sropping" - remember?). It has the advantage that it
easily converts to bold-case stropping for published material.
What I think what all are agreed on is that the original choice in the LRM
(lower (or bold) keywords, upper identifiers) was the worst possible
convention.
