Mirjana, If you open the base RFCs of DNS, RFC 1034 and RFC 1035, you will find many examples of domain names, most of them real (at least at that time) I think. They are mostly written in upper case, e.g. A.ISI.EDU. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1034 Over the years, domain names have been written in lower case, upper case and mixed case. And you still see that.

My opinion that such cases cannot be prevented by developing any variants rules. This is the crime and should be punished accordingly.

Dear Bill,
I am a little bit confused with this discussion. I cannot remember that I have ever seen the domain name written in uppercase. May be it is the result of not paying attention to such cases. Could you please give me some examples of ASCII domains written and registered in uppercase?
you do not *register* domains in upper or lower case. The domain name is always case insensitive. You can simply try this out yourself. If you go to http://icann.org or http://Icann.oRg It's all the same. Therefore you don't know, if some company simply always publishes its internet address in capital letters. Or mixed if they want to be very cool/hip/modern, whatever. ;-) Therefore domain names can look the same, although they are different.
