IE _does_ support all lowercase names. For example:
  document.createEvent("mouseevent") 
gives you an instance of the MouseEvent constructor. 

Is "clean up the spec" really the motivation for this?

Even if the spec was tightened up to not allow this, I'm not sure it really
matters enough to risk any compatibility impact to change our implementation in
the near future.
