That's an interesting question.  I have created TCP/IP Services host 
names in both uppercase and lowercase (though not capitalised) for years.

I must have had some reason to do this, but I cannot remember why.  I 
don't think I would have done this purely because "It looks more 
consistent on outputs", but maybe I did.  Maybe it dates back to older
versions of software in use circa 1998.
