Indeed, the 25 aug 2004, and I'm sorry to not have noticed the problem 
discussed below at that time.

I tried to guess about what you where talking about, and I guess this is 
about the title of the StringField my_id in forms. 

I looked at many places, and this is some titles found for many different 
fields:

City
Description
Group
Role
...

Usually, the capital letter is only for the first caracter, so, why are we 
doing exception for id ? Why it should be only capital letters ?

When it is possible, we should try to not have exceptions, so it will 
prevent many errors. Is it possible to use 'Id' everywhere instead of 
'ID' ?

Seb.
