Should names be lower-cased?

See original GitHub issue

Overview

Profiles say it should be lower-cased - https://github.com/frictionlessdata/specs/blob/master/sources/dictionary/common.yml#L20-L31

E.g. Table Schema spec doesn’t have comments about name restrictions - http://specs.frictionlessdata.io/table-schema/#name

And example of data package which is invalid if we require lower-cased names - https://github.com/datasets/language-codes/blob/master/datapackage.json

@pwalsh really good points. Issue is that current implementations all tend to break on this IME (i.e. if name in field does not match column name in CSV (including case) we get breakage - may be remembering wrong but believe this is so).

Be good to get quick feedback here from implementors including e.g. @akariv @roll and @OriHoch and @danielfireman
