Still, it is indicative of an underlying assumption that BumpyCaps is 
being using to indicate word boundaries, whereas ignoring case indicates
the opposite. I think we need to get it clear in our minds which way want
want to go. 

Consider this. If I add a link FooBarBaz to a wiki page, and then click 
the question mark I will get to edit a page, and the title of that page
will be shown as "Foo Bar Baz". If I create a link to [foobarbaz] I will
edit a page with title "foobarbaz". If we are to ignore capitalisation, 
both of these links will refer to the same page. What title will we give
that page? Will it depend on the name it was given when it was created?
Or the referring name? Or what?

If there are to be any equivalences, I personally think that FooBarBaz
should be equivalent to [foo bar baz], which is also three words, but not 
[foobarbaz] which is presumably one word. This would mean that 
"RunningTogether" would be distinguishable from "RunningToGetHer".
