I agree that it shouldn't be default. I've work on a system where the LDAP 
directory is populated by information fed from a mainframe. The mainframe 
only keeps data in all caps, which is replicated on down the line. It makes 
things rather ugly, but that's the way it is and I have no hope that it will 
ever get fixed/changed :(.
