Thanks.  Please go ahead and push to the release branch, with the
following 2 exceptions:

This and related changes just change the letter-case, which isn't
worth the hassle (and could break cross-references from other
manuals).

This goes against the rest of the changes, which correctly made the
opposite replacement.  I see no reason to make the opposite change
here.
