Actually, just-send-UTF-8 supports case preservation just fine; it's
send-nameprepped-UTF-8 that doesn't.  If the sender already requires the
receiver to support UTF-8, it might be reasonable to further require the
receiver to do normalization and case-folding when comparing strings.
The one exception is DNS queries, where for performance reasons you
would want to do it at the requestor, but who cares if DNS queries don't
preserve case (DNS responses still could).
