Domain names (the part to the RIGHT of the @) are case insensitive.  It is
totally legal to uppercase them all in order to sort them.

Any software that has a problem with this is in violation of RFC1035, section
2.3.1:
----
Note that while upper and lower case letters are allowed in domain
names, no significance is attached to the case.  That is, two names with
the same spelling but different case are to be treated as if identical.
----

Any people who have a problem with this are strongly advised to get a grip,
as there's a lot bigger issues in the world than whether their domain name
is ImALamer.com or IMALAMER.COM. ;)
