Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but why not a simple tr command:
tr [A-Z] [a-z] <infile >outfile
It seems to work just fine for me; caps are replaced by their lower-case equivalent, and everything else is left untouched.
Oops! I misunderstood the original requirements; my solution won't work since it will lower-case characters that need to remain uppercase.
