Thanks, Tom.  I think your explanation is correct.  The manual page:

    http://orgmode.org/manual/Specific-header-arguments.html#Specific-header-arguments

does indeed show all of the arguments in lower case.  I had seen BEGIN_SRC and
begin_src used interchangeably and so assumed that same latitude applied to
the keywords.  And I have a slight preference for putting keywords in upper
case and values in lower case, just to distinguish one class of things from
the other.  My bad.
