assumed this is case-sensitive across the board, but seen in example below (label starts with a capital, and as a result labels are not included in XML result - it passes validation). Some spreadsheet software seems to capitalize automatically.

We used to reject this. Auto lowrcasing is a more user friendly solution,
and one I would personally advocate.

Lower casing the column headers leads to some issues. I'm going to make aliases for List_name, Name, Label and Type instead.

Certain column names can have lower-cased equivalent aliases
