Along similar lines, it's worth noting that at least 10 well-known 
Schemes are case-sensitive by default: Bigloo, Chicken, Gambit, Gauche, 
Guile, JScheme, Kawa, PLT, rscheme, scsh.  At least two others, Chez and 
SISC, allow case-sensitivity to be specified as an option.

Given this situation, what would it mean for the R6RS to specify 
case-insensitivity?

For me, this is another reason that simply sticking to pure 
case-insensitivity would be questionable, despite my personal preference 
for that mode.
