The W3 says:

"Two RDF URI references are equal if and only if they compare as
equal, character by character, as Unicode strings."
(http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/#section-Graph-URIref)

Allowing case-insensitive URIs in PhyloWS is likely to give problems
when they occur in RDF serializations so I am no fan of allowing them.
