So, we're 25% of the way done! :-) And as for case sensitivity, I propose that every implementation should choose for itself what its default sensitivity is, but for all to understand the #!case-fold and #!no-case-fold tokens. Trying to force all implementations to be case-folding has just caused implementors to violate the standard anyway. The barn door is open, and the ship has sailed. :-) That leaves only modules as the elephant in the room, and I believe it's more of a Maltese elephant than people believe.
