A doc-patch would be nice.

I don't like the general situation either. Unicode doesn't behave like this and I don't think string.lower() and .upper() should either, but there are users out there who think differently, so we might want to add a parameter which then allows modifying the type of mapping:

string.lower(map='ascii') string.upper(map='latin-1')

etc.

Just an idea.

PS: I'll be offline for two weeks now, so don't expect any more comments before then.
