Oh come on, who reads documentation?  Isn't the real concern here
providing for broken mail readers that have been programmed ``by
example''.

The *safest* thing to do is probably to use the capitalization shown
in the MIME RFCs in outgoing messages.  I don't think the aesthetics
of it are all that relevant, since gnus doesn't normally show us the
MIME-Version (or Mime-Version, or mImE-vErSiOn, or whatever) header
anyway.
