make column headings case-insensitive #76

assumed this is case-sensitive across the board, but seen in example below (label starts with a capital, and as a result labels are not included in XML result - it passes validation). Some spreadsheet software seems to capitalize automatically.

We used to reject this. Auto lowrcasing is a more user friendly solution, and one I would personally advocate. On Feb 21, 2013 11:59 AM, "Martijn van de Rijdt" notifications@github.com wrote:

Lower casing the column headers leads to some issues. I'm going to make aliases for List_name, Name, Label and Type instead.
