Datasources and Scheduled Tasks UPPERCASE to lowercase

[mpwoodward]

Is there a reasonable reason why Datasource Name and Task Name is converted to lower case when one of these is edited ?
Creating a New Datasource or a New Scheduled Task keeps the formatting they way you put the name in.

"3Day-Price Report" will be changed to
"3day-price report" as an example.

This is a cosmetic issue but still somewhat annoying.

I'd have to check with Andy on this one--it's been a loooong time at this point since this came up when I was first working on the admin console, but for some reason (at that point anyway) internally the engine wanted everything lowercase.

I swear there's code in there for that does the name and the displayName so at least on the pages in the admin console it retains the case as you entered it but maybe I'm thinking of another area of the code.

Thanks for filing this--I'll look into it when I do the next round of updates.
