I'd very much want to preserve case sensitivity in the URI for both the
group name and the page name. Otherwise I don't see how we differentiate
between a group called 'Howtos' (as in plural of How-to) versus 'HowToS'
(where we have HowToA, HowToB etc). Sorry that I couldn't come up with an
example that's easier to understand.
Having said the above, I could see the advantage if the URI is
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/MAin/SomePage
that pmwiki first checks for a group called 'MAin/SomePage' and if that
doesn't exist it starts a case insensitive search (on group names). I
assume the URI should be redirected in this case so that the resulting URI
would be.
http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Main/SomePage
