From my (brief) testing just now, Chrome's case-insensitivity in this
example seems to extend much beyond Latin-1 (e.g. it includes Cyrillic,
as well as Vietnamese accented letters); it's probably simple Unicode
case-folding.
Firefox, on the other hand, seems to be only ASCII (not Latin-1)
case-insensitive.
