But if one strips the mark-up out, and searching is then based on the collation elements of the text, then this is not a problem. Mathematical and ASCII capitals differ only at the identity level. Searching on the basis of codepoint sequences would come unstuck with scriptio continua scripts - WJ and ZWSP can be optionally inserted to improve line-breaking, and even to overcome spell-checkers.
