+1.

Jim knows full well the issue with case conversion (or at least he should remember it from the two times he and I have discussed it in depth over the past eight years) is not just about case conversion. All internationalization is dealt with the same way. If someone has a list of equivalences they want their LHS to be known as, it is trivial for them to populate the DNS with SMIMEA records for all of those. There is no way we would tell them what those equivalences would be, not to tell the searcher what they should be searching for.
