You just asked for "certain mappings and no others". I pointed to the
source for nameprep mappings. You did _not_ say "arguments for case
folding".

I don't understand where you get "lying" from?

I took for granted you knew that case folding is done already in DNS, and
that people has asked for case folding to continue to be valid also for
other scripts.
