1) nft allows one to specify with address family to work with. See ADDRESS FAMILIES in the manpage or https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Nftables_families 2) chain names are totally arbitrary. They can be either lower case or upper case. This is properly documented in the manpage as well, and also in https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Configuring_chains I don't see any actionable here. Closing bug now. Thanks for your report though!
