> I am looking for any research or thoughts on the use of capitalization in URLs.
I would avoid it from the simple fact that most people assume URIs to
be in all lowercase.

On the other hand, it may stop the confusion of bad URIs that look
great in print, but take on a different meaning as a continuous
string.
Examples (all real):
http://mp3shits.com/  [MP3's Hits]
http://www.speedofart.com/  [Speed of Art]
http://www.cummingfirst.com/ [Cumming First Baptist Church!]
http://www.powergenitalia.com/  [Powergen Italia]
http://www.therapistfinder.com/ [Therapist Finder]
http://www.assmann-usa.com/  [Assman USA]

(well, they made me laugh) ;^)
