Railsify something... sounds important enough to make countless
downstream users change their code ;-)
Should we then define that any software dealing with relation XML must
ignore case in member types? (Does the API, on upload, accept any case?)
Currently the planet diffs have lower case, the planet file has upper
case, and Osmosis expects lower case.

I have modified the planet dumper (slightly unelegantly perhaps, I leave
beauty to Matt) to convert member types to lower case.
