RE: IndieUI Event Interfaces - Case

I would like to lobby (not strongly) for CamelCase through-out the Spec, for
human semantic purposes, while respecting the conventions for other events
in  platforms.

People may forget exactly what it was that you said or did, 
but people will never forget how you made them feel.......

Our scars remind us of where we have been........they do not have to dictate
where we are going.

Unless I hear objections, I am going to remove the IDL descriptions
altogether b/c I'm not sure they add much value. 

I had considered the entirely lowercase event names, but AFAIK, not all
events are defined this way. I'll look for some other examples, but unless I
find some good reasons, I'll make the switch to lowercase.

The constants (UNDO, REDO, etc.) and the eventType attribute defined in the
UIRequestEvent interface should be removed.
