Declare PHP/php as namespace reserved for PHP internals

I'm a bit confused by the "Declare PHP/php as namespace reserved for
PHP internals" vote on https://wiki.php.net/todo/php54/vote

Why is there an option to select "PHP" or "php", and not just a yes/no question?

I'm even more confused by the people that voted only one or the other.
Namespaces are case-insensitive, so if we reserve php we effectively
reserve PHP and pHp too..

Am I failing to understand something?

So both will be documented and it is forward compatible (if we ever
change the case insensitive behavior).
