[BA] Assuming that the realm is encoded in UTF-8 (which I believe the draft can require), I don't see why proxy P would have insufficient information.  The "opaque string" comparison doesn't even work for realms which contain no international characters.  For example, "exAMPLE.com" and "example.com" would not be recognized as equivalent.
