Yes, I know. But this is sort of my point. If the matching behaviour of those two strings differ because of _case_ treatment, it's a recipe for user puzzlement at best: "Oh, that's because of case folding." "Um, it's all lower case?" > I would question the "deep tradition" because, in reality, it > applies only to the ASCII repertoire, i.e., a subset of the set > of undecorated Latin characters. Yes, but surely for someone German it's handy to be able to use CamelCase to make strings somewhat more memorable, and having it work when the string has no decorartions and not work when there are decorations is, at least, hard to understand. The only responsible advice in light of IDNA2008, in my opinion, is, "Use domain names are in lower case, always."
