Actually, your comment above _was_ specific to downcasing.
But maybe you meant something more general.

In that case, you're talking about substituting a bunch
of commands, presumably swapping in the new commands for
(some of) their bindings.

Would those key-binding changes be by default?  Some old
users might not appreciate the change in default behavior
(but of course they can always rebind the keys).

If you don't propose such key-binding changes, then users
not used to region-commands that act on an inactive region
will continue to be bitten.
