The case pair stability requirement applies to default data. Conforming applications can still tailor case mapping behaviour use language-specific overrides. However, the default case pairs as defined in the SpecialCasing.txt and UnicodeData.txt files must remain stable so as not to break existing implementations of file systems or other identifier systems that depend on the default case pairs.
