Hi Guillermo
> accepting upper case letters (making usernames case sensitive) would tend to complicate things a bit. Maybe they should be allowed at the entry box but then lower-cased before storing them.
This is the present logic, at least in Moodle 1. This has its own problems.
a) Can you extend that to utf-8?
b) There were people who expected the same logic for passwords, i.e. case insensitive!

I have personally nothing against, if it works everywhere. For example all the authentication systems Moodle supports must understand the + and all third party modules, plug-ins, etc. too.
