It's jarring that one part of the compiler emits diagnostics one way and another emits them a totally different way. It may be less of an impact for people who don't see the output from both at the same time, but that happens to be the use case I have.

For that reason we probably can harmlessly decapitalize Static Analyzer messages. I suspect that it won't really change anything either, because most tools will still be afraid of accidental inconsistencies in the compiler.
If we're okay with the inconsistency but still feel like giving ourselves more work, adding proper punctuation to Static Analyzer diagnostics would at least make them grammatically correct. :-D
