11 The BFC meta-statement (along with all of its options) is case-sensitive, and
11 must always be in all caps.

I feel this statement is inappropriate in this document.  Case-sensitivity
should be determined for all meta-statements uniformlly.

This is already in the LDRAW file spec.  All meta statements are required to
be in all caps.

OK, I wasn't aware it was in there.  However, according to the huge
meta-command thread, people have created meta-commands with mixed case and
some that aren't case-sensitive.  Nobody mentioned there that this was
illegal according to the LDraw spec.  (I even asked about case sensitivity
there.)

Kevin did a pretty exhaustive search for meta command and all of the one's
he listed were in all caps.

The command word needs to be in all caps, the command parameters don't need
to be. (if I'm reading the spec correctly)

(...) I'm not sure if there are any others, but the LTrax meta-commands are definitely not in all caps. And, according to Tore (the LTrax author), the LTrax program doesn't treat them as case-sensitive. --Travis (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
