OK, so before I address your question I need to deal with some administrivia first: (A) Being a dick will get you exactly nowhere. I'm going to assume that you didn't mean to troll here and actually answer your question. Uou should know that when you use this tone, you're likely just to piss people off, and that's exactly the wrong way to make an argument. (B) Reopening tickets because you disagree with the resolution is also quite impolite. Bringing the issue here is the right way to go, but leave the ticket closed unless you can convince us to rep-open it. Right, so moving on to your real question: > Here is an example of case-insensitive urls. They rock: > http://www.askeri.ru/PUBLISH/ > http://www.askeri.ru/publish/ They do indeed rock. Luckily, supporting them is super-easy:: (r'(?P<slug>[\w]+)/$', my_view) ... def my_view(request, slug): o = MyObject.objects.get(slug__iexact=slug) Bingo; case-insensitive URLs! Rock on. The point is this: if we hard-code case-insensitivity into Django, then developers won't be able to produce case-sensitive URLs if they need to. If, however, we don't hardcode anything, developers can do whatever they want. If we introduce this very small convenience, we'll be taking power away from developers. That goes directly against Django's > * What do you think about including Web Typography support as a > built-in django feature? I think it's a great idea. We currently don't have a process by which apps are added to contrib, and that's the only thing holding us back. I'm working on proposing such a process, and once the development community has had a chance to tell me where I got it wrong, typography is one of the first things I'd like to propose for addition to contrib.
