I disagree strongly. Misspelt package names is not the same as
spelling it right but not matching the right case.

In the previous example, I knew I wanted "Perl-xml-parser". It should
mean diddly squat if I spell XML with capital letters or not.

Does Red Hat allow two packages with the same name, but different
capitalization?. I rest my case.
