Unfortunately, they almost certainly don't. I'd bet long odds that
what they expect is mysql's traditional behavior, which is not even
within hailing distance of being spec compliant. (In a quick test,
it looks like mysql 5.0's default behavior is never to fold case
at all; and then there's the problem that they use the wrong kind
of quotes ...)
