>You describe problems with case-insensitive matching later in this section. Why not just use caseExactMatch? Strictly speaking left hand sides of email addresses are not ASCII case-insensitive.

Because we already have lots of email schemas that are empirically
useless in the real world.

If you need a case-sensitive match, you just pull the
case-insensitively matched data from the server, and quickly perform a
second comparison in the client.  This is trivial and imposes no great
load on the server or client.

The vast majority of email addresses in use today are
case-insensitive.  If your schema prevents case-insensitive matching
on the server, all email address objects have to be pulled every
single time an email is processed, so that the client code can do
appropriately case-insensitive matching locally.
