> I don't see the added value of Unicode-aware case-insensitivity. Maybe it's more important in non-Latin text

I believe that -- to give one example -- this is something that Chrome implements, but Firefox does not. It's a huge pain to have to match accents perfectly in a text search on a page when you often want your search to be accent and case insensitive. This sort of thing is very important for any text search workload, I imagine.
