Well, you have two evils here.

Firstly, Internet Explorer 5+ will rewrite a mixed case SLD.TLD to lowercase
by default.  I have not exhaustively searched, but I do not think this is an
option that can be "turned off".

Secondly, the Raq's make extensive use of rewrites throughout the Apache
conf files.  If you modify/remove these w/o having an understanding of what
exactly you're doing, you could very well end up breaking a lot of your
(client) sites.

Depending on how many of your visitors are using IE, this may not even be a
worthwhile thought, nevermind effort.
