	There are cases where case does matter.  I guess the trade off 
(simplified) comes down to having choice and control vs. making things a 
little simpler and easier. On a more trivial note, having a Linux Wiki 
that did not respect case (as the OS does) seems odd ;)

	This would require either database changes or an extreme 
performance penalty.
