You've used that phrase twice now, and I still can't figure out what it 
means.  What requirement do you see that is not being met?

Note that a KDC _could_ enumerate all possible mixtures of upper and lower 
case for a given principal name.  It'd be sort of suckful compared to just 
making matching case-insensitive, but it could be done.
