Re: Results of CSS case-sensitivity discussion at TPAC [I18N-ACTION-157]

No, by "special cases" we meant the "T" cases in the CaseFolding.txt file of the UCD. SpecialCasing.txt defines special cases for upper/lower/title case. One case that's special in SpecialCasing and not so special in CaseFolding is ß.

Expressed positively, CSS should use the mappings labeled C and F in CaseFolding.txt.
