How do (or do they) the below sections jive with RFC 2279 ??

2.1.3  Character Case

   Handles are character strings based on the ISO-10646 character set
   and must be encoded in UTF-8. By default, handle characters are
   treated as case-sensitive under the handle protocol. A handle
   service, however, may be implemented in such a way that ASCII
   characters are processed case-insensitively. For example, the
   Global Handle Registry (GHR) provides a handle service where ASCII
   characters are processed in a case-insensitive manner. This
   suggests that ASCII characters in any naming authority are case-
   insensitive.

   When handles are created under a case-insensitive handle server,
   their original case should be preserved. To avoid any confusion,
   the server should avoid creating any handle whose character string
   matches that of an existing handle, ignoring the case difference.
   For example, if the handle "X/Y" was already created, the server
   should refuse any request to create the handle "x/y" or any of its
   case variations.

2.1.4  Standard String Type: UTF8-String

   Handles are transmitted as UTF8-Strings under the handle protocol.
   Throughout this document, UTF8-String stands for the data type that
   consists of a 4-byte unsigned integer followed by a character
   string in UTF-8 encoding. The leading integer specifies the number
   of octets of the character string.
