It turns out there's no single case folding rule that works as people expects in all cases. Whatever you do, there are some people who end up screwed by it :) For example, French treatment of accents being (reportedly) different in France and Canada, and the famous dotless i (ı) in Turkey whose upper-case variant is I, which looks like I and lower-cases back to i, incorrectly... So in XML we went with case sensitivity everywhere. Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/
