Agreed.  If the requirement is to do case folding independent of

Well for the dotted I case, it is not so much eurocentrism per se
that is at work, rather it is the issue of upwards compatibility.
(in any case Turkey is presumably part of Europe given that its
candidacy for the EU has been allowed to proceed past the first
stage :-)
