Thanks for the answer.

Params created internally by OpenLayers (like "service" and "method")
should remain capitalized. But params provided by the application
developer ("layers" etc.) shouldn't be transformed by OpenLayers. If
the user wants them lower-case, they should remain lower-case. And to
work around ESRI bugs the application developer would just explicitely
use capital letters for "layers" and friends.

What do you think?
