To follow up on my own email: it looks like, even though in some locale "INFO".lower() != "info"

u"INFO".lower() == "info" (at least in the Turkish locale). Is that guaranteed, at least for now (for the current versions of python)? It's guaranteed for now; unicode.lower is not locale-aware.

That seems backwards of how it should be ideally: the byte-string
upper and lower should always do ascii uppering-and-lowering, and the
unicode ones should do it according to locale. Perhaps that can be
cleaned up in py3k?
