My thoughts:

When applying a GET or POST in a CGI, servlet, etc., it is common practic to 
allows case-insensitive form keywords, and case-sensitive form values.

i.e. the two requests should be processed identically:

http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/atlaswms_en?VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

http://atlas.gc.ca/cgi-bin/atlaswms_en?version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities

How this gets processed on the inside is another issue.  But clients 
constructing URLs should expect case-insensitive form keywords to work.

As an example, note that all OGC specifications apply this approach to their 
numerous web service implementation specifications.
