Is uppercase allowed in a site name on Usenet/Eunet?

The simple answer I though was: yes. But  I  have  recently  been
installing a large mail system  which after finding the next node
to deliver a message to lowerfy's (there word not mine) the  node
name.  Now, working on the belief that the authors know what they
are up to I was wondering if there is some obscure net convention
that Usenet/Eunet sites use only lower case?

Offhand I cannot think  of any sites with such a name  and  sites
on the ARPA and JNT networks seem to convert their names to lower
case before using them on the Usenet/Eunet!

	Thanks in advance.
