Yes it was a bug in the NEWS file that should be fixed for the next
release.  However, the documentation and existing shapes are all correct,
so hopefully it won't cause too much trouble :(

As for whether case should matter for xml namespace URIs, the current code
for loading shape files uses the standard libxml function to get a handle
for the namespace.  As libxml doesn't perform case folding here, I doubt
that URIs are supposed to be case insensitive.  If you think I am wrong
about this, you should tell Daniel Veillard about it as it would be a bug
in libxml.
