I favor getURL on the basis that the acronym is URL, not Url. As is SAML,
not Saml, SOAP not Soap, etc. I prefer to call things what they are than
try and remember to call them something else.

A lesser consideration is the preponderance of existing code, but I know
some of the OpenSAML stuff has also changed in v3 already, so there's
probably work either way.

I favor consistency, and I think we need to avoid project specific rules
because for a period of time we may be moving code back and forth.
