Don't allow registering usernames with uppercase letters about homeserver HOT 5 CLOSED

Actually, I'm not sure if the spec allows it any more -- synapse apparently does though.

That seems like an issue with the spec and an issue should be opened there. By the way what were the problems from this?

from homeserver.

People frequently create accounts with capitalised initials etc, and then get confused when they can't login or their invitations never arrive because they tried to write it all lowercase.

Also having the same username with different capitalization is annoying. Perhaps a better UI/UX on the client or some normalization on the server would prevent these kind of problems.

Better open an issue on the matrix-doc.

Spec has been clarified, ruma-identifiers only allows lowercase and has a test: https://github.com/ruma/ruma-identifiers/blob/master/src/user_id.rs#L177

Fixed?
