I actually have encountered problems with case, where I had to deal 
with users who didn't use case consistently in their web pages; they'd 
create a Foo.Htm page and then link to foo.htm. Foo.htm and FOO.HTM. 
They'd create these on their desktop machine and test them locally 
with personal web sharing, or whatever XP calls it, and all case variations 
would serve the same foo.htm page. Then they'd come to me convinced 
that the production web server was broken.
