Would you care to elaborate on that please?  I'm a bit surprised, at first
sight, you increase the possibilities a lot when you have to take into
account the case, making dictionary and brute force attacks that much more
difficult.  For each word, the possibilities are 2^L where L is the length
of the word.  Assuming the users do use random case within the password, how
is it not more secure than a case-insensitive password?
