Then the proposed mechanical edit is useless. It will have to be 
repeated periodically, and I don't think that should be how we do QC for 
this problem.
If this is a problem, it needs to be fixed at the root (change the API 
to accept lowercase keys only or change every key to lowercase on 
upload) and then corrected (this proposed mechanical edit).

Maarten
