are namespaces of boost libs required to be lowercase?

Hi!

If someone wants to contribute code to boost:
Is she required to provide the names of all namespaces lowercase?

E.g. someone provides Elefant, the big library.
Is she allowed to have namespace Elefant and perhaps
namespace Elefant::Private, etc.

I could not find any hint except this here, which did not 
really help me, since I do not know the standard library's
conventions. Any link/ hint appreciated:

-- citation from the boost docs --
"Naming conventions rationale

The C++ standard committee's Library Working Group discussed this issue in 
detail, and over a long period of time. The discussion was repeated again 
in early boost postings. A short summary:

Naming conventions are contentious, and although several are widely used, 
no one style predominates. 
Given the intent to propose portions of boost for the next revision of the 
C++ standard library, boost decided to follow the standard library's 
conventions."

best regards,

Markus
