I think not. The problem he is trying to avoid is the exact opposite of the normal Windows case
insensitive file system problem. The classic problem with web sites created in windows is ending up
with the case of the link url not being the same as the file it references. On Windows the site
will work, upload it to Linux and it breaks. By standardising on all lower case for file names and
URL's this problem can be solved.
