In Brian Hillyard's posting to exlibris yesterday of the latest available 
draft of the proposed revision of DCRB 0H, I notice a somewhat confusing 
departure from DCRB (italics are mine):
0H. Conversion of case

In general, capitalize according to the provisions of AACR2 Appendix A.
However, do not convert lowercase letters into uppercase.

Was it a conscious departure from DCRB not to convert lowercase letters 
into uppercase? What was the rationale for this change?
