[development] coding standard question

[Steve Rude]

According to this: http://drupal.org/node/121388 lowercase is faster, 
but we should make a decision, and document it in the coding standard.

I just find it confusing for our entry to mid-level developers to have 
the coder module saying one thing and the code everywhere saying 
something else...

I was correcting them about using lowercase instead of uppercase when I 
found out the coder module was telling them something else entirely.
