This sounds really easy to fix in a minifier: if a property name starts
with "var-", preserve casing. And as you say, if as an author you can
absolutely not update broken tools, using lower-case everywhere works
around this.
Let’s just not reopen the casing issue. But even if it were still being
discussed, I don’t think this is a strong argument.
