Ummm, there seems to be some confusion in this thread -- the choice
isn't (:table:) versus (:TABLE:) -- it's only whether we should
have this directive (and all directives) be case-insensitive such
that authors can be allowed to write either form and have it work.

Another possibility (local customization only) would be to allow authors
to type (:TABLE:) and have it be converted to (:table:) when saving.
This leaves everything consistent, but allows authors to type
in all-upper-case when it's more convenient.
