See examples of possible meaningful combinations of upper and
lower cases.

	my-domain.com
	my-Domain.com
	My-domain.com
	My-Domain.com
	MY-DOMAIN.com

or, some user may think even more meaningful

	my-DOMAIN.com
	My-DOMAIN.com
	MY-domain.com
	MY-Domain.com

How can you forbid a user who purchased "my-domain.com" want to
have control over:

	mY-DoMaIn.com

?

	mY-DoMaIn.com

is a perfectly normal Latin domain name.
