Just look at file system implementations from Apple and Microsoft, where, believe it or not, a lot of thought has gone into this issue. I had a private chat with Jason Greene about this, and I came out with the understanding that the .NET/SOAP interop issues mentioned here earlier by Markus and Jason are actually issues with PHP not preserving case rather than with PHP not being fully case-sensitive. And since Andi promised to take a shot at making case preservation happen, it seems like we are on our way to better interoperability without too much BC hassles. --Marko
