The checking rules are definitely stronger than they were before - this is 
likely from Milena's checks.

Whether Swift should be case sensitive on identifiers seems poorly 
defined; karajan will take either case, but the XML-related history would 
suggest that case should be significiant (specifically a QName is case 
sensitive).

I'm not terribly fussed either way (though I'd probably go for case 
sensitivity to be more C/Java-like) but I think it would be good to be 
defined more than as accidents of the compile-time and runtime layer.
