Thank you for providing me with such a clear explanation! To make my
point clear, I do not care about whether Org uses upper case or lower
case keywords, but I do care about consistency. Specifically, I think
Emacs should not make new users fiddle with variables just to make its
behavior internally consistent. Thus, while I do understand both the
"lowercase religion" and the "uppercase religion", I do not understand
the "inconsistency religion".
