Use of same name with different case considered harmful

The LOCN vocabulary includes a number of terms in which an RDF property has the same name as an RDF Class, differing only in case [1], e.g.
locn:geometry vs. locn:Geometry
locn:address vs locn:Address

While strictly OK, this is generally considered risky, since some processing environments fail to distinguish between tokens on the basis of case alone.
Modifying the vocabulary to avoid this might be a helpful revision, e.g.

locn:geometry --> locn:hasGeometry
locn:address --> locn:hasAddress
