Re: m100

Hi,
if the Help IDs are not case sensitive then it is of no use to normalize 
their cases. It would only risk that the Help IDs that are still part of 
translation relevant paragraphs get changed accidentally and thus result 
in translation relevant changes. We don't want that.
I suppose this is what happened to the one ID that Martin reported.
