I don't have a problem with it being case sensitive, but obviously it 
didn't look like it using this example.

It sort of made sense, as after all the domain is modelled on a DNS 
name, and DNS names aren't case sensitive.  Regular expression systems 
often have a flag you can use to get that behaviour.

This on the other hand is a better explanation all round.  I guess I'd 
better bear this in mind the next time I'm looking for an example of 
something :-)
