Let me put it this way: regardless of what case you use in your request
or the nameservers spit out for data (which is not affected, and I never
said was), the resolvers asking for information and the nameservers
responding will "squash" to a uniform case when performing the search.
Why? Because so many of those old ARPAnet hosts were (and still are!)
incapable of distinguishing case. I cut my teeth on some of those
systems.
So, there really is no reason to maintain mixed case.
Beyond that, there are esthetic reasons to smash to lowercase:
