Not only uppercase, but also canonical placement of dashes.
Good point.

Not mangled at all.
However, there are Glib2-based programs such as Nautilus CD Burner that always
assume that filenames are in UTF-8 and ignore G_FILENAME_ENCODING. They are
broken in non-UTF-8 locales.
Yes, I remember you explained that to me. I suppose broken in
non-UTF-8 is better than broken in non-ISO-8859-1, though.
I'm going to open a bug each in LFS and BLFS so these things aren't
forgotten about before release.
