Original OGC spefication of BNF was not clear about case-sensitivity of
Well-Known-Text
and perhaps GEOS assumed it's safer to follow WKT examples presented by OGC.
More recent spec is more specific and says: "Well known text is case
insensitive."

There was similar discussion http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/332
