That's correct. Preciously the sites file was a karajan file. That was
case-insensitive.

In the faster branch the sites file is parsed with a DOM parser. This
will allow proper validation (which I'm working on right now).

There will be two versions of the sites file. The default (2.0), will be
case-sensitive and will allow app definitions in the sites file.

The backwards compatible one (<config version="1.0">), will be case
insensitive. But you will need to explicitly say version="1.0" in there
to get that.

This is tentative, so open to discussion.
