I'm going to "me too" with freebsd.org, but for a reason:

If I say a Web site's address to someone, I know from watching them
type that they usually type the address in lower case.

There are probably several reasons why we should aim to have people
refer to the site consistently. One that springs to my mind is that
some caching software takes an MD5 sum of the URL, so will think
that FreeBSD.org and freebsd.org are different.

One issue other than changing URLs in documents under
www.freebsd.org is that the main logo on the Web site specifies
FreeBSD.org. This logo would also need changing if we wish to be
consistent.
