The mixed case is not too
important for us, as discussed above.

I think it can be, actually.  Suppose you've got someone living in Spain,
whose father is Spanish and whose mother is Japanese.  His full surname, then,
is something like Ohta y Montoya (or maybe the other way around; I don't
remember).  Now he wants to get a vanity domain, with "Ohta" in Japanese
characters and "y Montoya" in Roman letters.  He needs to be able to mix
character sets.
