>paths are case sensitive.

That's unpleasantly inconsistent, then. The protocol also treats 
HTTP://USER.SITE.COM as different from HTTPS://USER.SITE.COM, doesn't 
it?

Does anyone here know of ANY site that assigns similar URI's to 
different users like this? Being the same URI with only 
capitalization or SSL different?

If we don't know any, I suggest that the reassurance of being able to 
treat them identically be valued over the possibility that, sometime 
in the future, a site might do so.
