I believe this is still the case.  I went around a few buoys because our 
DB people had created a test called "Cluster" and then our Unix people 
created a test called "cluster", but the unix test appeared on the page 
as "Cluster".  This distinction propagated though to analysis.cfg and 
alerts.cfg and graphs.cfg as well.
