As I understand it, i;unicode-casemap performs case conversion and some
normalization and then compares the result. What I am looking for, and
what I think the default collation is, is strict Unicode identity. Put
simply, represent both strings as UTF-8 sequences and apply i;octet.

I found that draft and think it would be nice if it was finished, but
there is no hurry, from my perspective, to finish it.
