We should probably do another fix-capitalization pass on docs/, because a bunch more "ARM" uses have crept in since 6fe6d6c9a95. (6fe6d6c9a95's commit message says that architecture names like "ARMv8" retain all-caps, but I think that was my personal taste creeping in -- at any rate the current Arm ARM uses "Armv8", "Armv9", etc. It was right that "ARM926" etc should stay all-caps, though.) thanks -- PMM
