uppercase attribute names



I dislike the uppercased attribute names used particularly in examples
of DNs (including LDAP URIs) and RDNs.  People copy usage from examples.
Uppercase is ugly, it's different from the attribute names in [Schema],
and it gives no guidance to how to upper/lowercase attribute names that
consist of several words.

This occurs in [Models], [Protocol], [DN] (including the table of
attributes to recognize in DNs) and [Syntaxes].
Also draft-zeilenga-ldap-rfc2596-04.txt.

There are some uppercase names outside DNs too, and it would be nice to
get at them as well.  However, that's less important because it doesn't
set an example of how to spell them in the same way as DN examples do
(because they are spelled with lowercase in [schema]):

[Models], [Authmeth], [DN], draft-zeilenga-ldap-rfc2596-04.txt.
