normalization of custom property names

Description:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-css-variables-1-20140506/#defining-variables

Section 2 says in part:

<quote>
Unlike other CSS properties, custom property names are case-sensitive.

EXAMPLE. While both --foo and --FOO are valid, they are distinct properties - using var(--foo) will refer to the first one, while using var(--FOO) will refer to the second.
</quote>

Case sensitivity is not the only variation that can apply to text. While citing the case sensitivity is useful, should mention be made of other variations, such as Unicode Normalization? I believe that the actual restriction is that the text must be identical.
