The Greek alphabet does have upper and lower case variants. However, in 
the case of typing 'qwerty' and 'QWERTY' using a Greek keyboard layout 
then you get the strings:
   qwerty = ;ςερτυ
and
   QWERTY = :΅ΕΡΤΥ

Which (by virtue of the punctuation and the terminal sigma on q and w) 
are definitely not the same when compared caselessly ;)

Mark.

i.e. Don't assume that shift-<letter> gives you an uppercase version of 
<letter> in any keyboard layout.
