I do :)  

I remember I expressed a preference for capitals, but I don't
remember if this was some policy I really wanted to enforce...
I don't really care, actually.

This should be the case, the manual contains this paragraph:

     Moreover, Org uses option keywords (like '#+TITLE' to set the title)
  and environment keywords (like '#+BEGIN_HTML' to start a 'HTML'
  environment).  They are written in uppercase in the manual to enhance
  its readability, but you can use lowercase in your Org files(1)

HTH,
