That doesn't sound like a very strong argument for case preservation
to me. Suppose for the sake of argument that a user does find
uppercase characters easier to read [*]. In that case, all names should
be displayed as uppercase to that user, not just names that were
originally entered as uppercase. That could be done regardless of
whether the IDN proposal supports case preservation.


[*] Personally I find them less readable. Font size and style is much
    more important than case.
