Maybe there is already something about this in the current
draft, maybe not. The search draft should definitely not
be limited to ASCII; there are many newsgoups that use all
kinds of other character encodings.

In the context of worldwide text, case equivalence (or its
absence) is just one kind of equivalence, there are many
others. And case equivalence is language dependent and
otherwise more complex than you might guess.
