Upper case characters are not PVALID.  This is because of B:
toNFKC(toCaseFold(toNFKC(cp))) != cp.  In appendix B.1 it's
illustrated in this entry:

003A..0060  ; DISALLOWED  # COLON..GRAVE ACCENT

I have no idea.  Maybe it has a bug.  Or maybe it does case mapping
before it touches the string; that's what RFC 5895 suggests.  In that
case, of course, the Verisign conversion tool includes some things
that applications are supposed to do.
