It does. Case is used to separate public and private namespace (probably a design mistake). However, we shuld ignore case in the charset: we are going to use mainly MIME charset names (at least I hope so), and MIME charset names are case insensitive. Anyway, the case sensitivity issue is a strawman, IMHO. If there is a single, system-wide locale database, the name of a locale becomes much less an issue (as it should never be transmitted over the wire). Current experience with GNU libc and XFree86 4.1.x shows that enriching locale data based on the name simply does not work. -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
