[Serusers] Contacts case sensitivity

[Adrian Georgescu]

About policy I totally agree with you as it fits perfectly the duck 
theory. The theory is that if somethings looks like a duck than it 
should be treated like one. So if a SIP address looks like an e-mail 
address it should be case insensitive as an e-mail address.

The problem should not be taken lightly when you are confronted with 
billing systems. These systems usually had to deal with numbers only so 
combinations of upper/lowercase would bring havoc to many systems. Not 
the fault of SIP of course but I would add a parameter to radius module 
as well to make all URIs lowercase. Who is working on the radius 
module?
