Having two newsgroups identical in names except for case sounds silly
to me, I don't know what the RFC says, but from a userfriendly point of
view number 2 would certainly be it... The question is just what to do
when the upstream has two groups with the same name, fetch from both? I
guess this would make things a bit more complicated in fetchnews though.
