There is something you may of missed in the spec... See where it returns se:Function? That mandates that a "fallback" value is provided; I think that the fallback value may be used in cases where lookup value is not found.
I agree that text lookups should be case-insensitvie. You may also enjoy discussing these things on the standa...@lists.osgeo.org email list for a wider perspective.
