and then somewhere else you encounter a link made to that same document a
slightly different way,
  http://www.foo.foo/case/insensitive/filename.html
then this causes the link to show in the wrong color -- unless your browser
ignores case in URLs (which is isn't supposed to).

Not only that, but will the browser realize that it already has the document
in your cache? Probably not.
