The "lowercasing" is done by the server, not the client. The URL http://host/WORD and http://host/word are different, but "host" can choose to decide they're equivalent. That's what I think we should suggest for other scripts, too: that services that offer access to resources use matching and equivalence rather than exact canonicalization for lookup. I think this recommendation could extend to DNS, too. Larry
