I think you shouldn't try to reproduce the filesystem name comparison algorithm. Check if file exists or generate numeric name.

I can't find where rfc6531 requires case flattening. The word "case" is used there in the meaning of "situation".

Case sensitivity is addressed in other RFCs relating to email and DNS.

Nonsense. You may not be in control of the names, and checking a file with stat(2) may not address the problem at hand (and: is many orders of magnitude different in cost as well).
