I'm a little confused about that "Wikipage URLS start with
a lowercase letter" part.  The way I've seen this mostly done
is that urls beginning with a lowercase letter are *not* wikipage
urls, but are served w/o PmWiki intervention.  (The newer version
of the CleanUrls recipe tends to look for the existence of a targeted
file or directory to decide if the request should be passed along
to PmWiki.)

Setting $EnableDirectDownload=0; in the config.php file causes 
upload urls to be generated to pass through the pmwiki.php request,
as either .../pmwiki.php?n=Group.Page?action=download&upname=attach.ext
or .../pmwiki.php/Group/Page?action=download&upname=attach.ext .
Any ".html" extension in this case would belong to the pagename,
not the uploaded/downloaded file, producing

    .../pmwiki.php/Group/Page.html?action=download&upname=attach.ext

which doesn't affect the extension of the attachment.
