The case fold types 'ascii' requires a mapping of code points to lowercase, whereas most definitions only require comparison "as-if" this conversion were performed.

Similarly, the 'unicode' case fold requires the mapping to be performed.

In practice the mapping probably would take place. I note that your issues 24 and 25 ask whether you should use charmod-norm as the source for these definitions and I think that would be a desirable outcome.
