From the few times I've emailed the author he seems happy to accept
better text. I'm sure he'd be happy to mention slony as an upgrade
option (though it would be best if there was a good doc describing this
we could point to). Likewise I believe he'd note things that will be
fixed in a given version (such as 8.1 or 8.2).

Does the standard even specify which case you fold to?
I agree, this is only a gotcha if you're used to the very non-standard
behavior in MySQL.

*shrug* I think it's useful to be able to see why something you might
expect to work doesn't.
