Yup, that’s major part of the PEP draft, that the metadata name field MUST NOT be normalized, and that this SHOULD be the name that is presented to the user—with the other presumably being, at least based on emerging consensus here and among tools, that sdist/wheel and .dist-info file/directory names shall be normalized. This seems to be the compromises which makes most people happiest and addresses the pain points of both normalizing and not normalizing without significantly regressing on the other.
