Though it may be true that there are not requirements about case insensitivity in the specification, it would be nice to make the world consistent and all it would take is for the developers to start using String.compareToIngnoreCase() instead of String.compareTo(). I would especially like this in the use of the URL and URI names. Often the end users of our code don't understand why there has to be a difference between /myapp/servlet/myservlet and /MYAPP/SERVLET/MYSERVLET.
