I am not mistaken; I never said Georgian wasn't structurally casing
and I never said the difference is stylistic.

If members of the Georgian user community want to consider this a
stylistic difference, they are free to do so.

Unicode/UCS doesn't impose orthographic rules on user communities, it
makes no judgments of user practices, and it doesn't mandate or
suggest how the actual users use the encoded characters.  The UCS
provides a standard encoding scheme to preserve and exchange plain
text computer data.  In order to be UNIVERSAL, the UCS provides
encoding not only for day-to-day use, but also for scholarly and
historic preservation purposes.
