Yes, I can see why they are upper case.  I was just thinking about the
logic of the situation.

I've always taken it that :w covered any "odd" argument specifier, i.e.
you don't need :wN as the N in this case is covered by the :w.  For example

\def:Npn \temp:w #1#2 AB #3 {DO STUFF}

doesn't have three argument specifiers.
