User IDs SHOULD be case-insensitive. This SHOULD be applied based on the
capitalisation rules in the CLDR dataset: http://cldr.unicode.org/
This check SHOULD be applied when the user ID is created, in order to prevent
registration with the same name and different capitalisations, e.g.
``@foo:bar`` vs ``@Foo:bar`` vs ``@FOO:bar``.
