While in ASCII you can define 'case independent match' by performing 'translate to upper case and then use string equality', this does not work for other character repertoires, e.g., JIS might have separate codes for single and double-wide codes yet want to treat them equivalent for matching. While uppercase mapping is culturally sensitive, can we not make a culturally independent 'character matching' algorithm that is good enough for directory services. Perhaps it means treating accented and unaccented versions of French initial capitals equivalent, even though this equivalence is not determined by 'canonicalization'?
