Comment:

 RFC2616 explicitly says that HTTP headers are case-insensitive.  That
 said, it doesn't hurt us to capitalize them as they are presented in the
 RFC.  Well-behaved clients won't care and lazy clients will more likely
 than not use the capitalization that the RFC uses.

 The only problem I see is that some of the instances in WP of "Content-
 type" are in external libraries like Snoopy or TinyMCE.  Changing those
 may present an added burden for maintenance.

 At any rate, 2.2 territory.
