But which of those does CSS define as case-insensitive?  I think the
vast majority (if not all) of CSS's case-insensitive identifiers are
the ones that are already defined, not the ones that authors can
choose for themselves.

I think all existing CSS properties and values and HTML (non-XML)
tag names and attributes are all ASCII.  And I suspect that's also
true for all of the attribute values that HTML defines as
case-insensitive.

So, in other words, do you have a valid testcase where you could
distinguish whether it's ASCII-only case-insensitivity or something
else in any way other than looking for case folding that crosses
between ASCII and non-ASCII, like using the WİDTH property?
