Sounds good, upper case looks ugly, but it would be easier to see what
are providers, and it's easy enough to change provider names.
I guess the lowercase is only for new spells?

Indentation should be like this:
<tab>* FILES: start of long description
<tab>end of long description

For long list of files i've also seen this format in a ChangeLog:

<tab>* file1:
<tab>* file2:

<tab>Description
