RE: [idn] UTC feedback

[Jonathan Rosenne <rosenne@qsm.co.il>]

How many conflicting casing rules are there? If the list is short, maybe
something could be done about it. We are only interested in folding to lower
case, so we only care for conflicts where in various languages the lower
case rules contradict.

For example, the Turkish I conflict could be resolved by folding all 4 I's
to a Latin small i.
