Yes, "ascii" could be written uppercase, but it looks better in
lowercase here and we won't change it after >18 years w/o complains
"keyserver" is the common spelling and thus used this way.
The algorithm names are listed in the way the various options require them.
Btw, Taher Elgamal wants his surname spelled without uppercase 'G".

Taher Elgamal (born 1955), Egyptian cryptographer
you are right, but i was and am referring to his cryptography work
OpenPGP uses "Elgamal" and Taher Elgamal wants his name and the
algorithm to be spelled with lowercase 'g'.
You are right with the inconsistencies between "key server" and
"keyserver".
