Making a safe distinction is beyond my knowledge, safest is not to discriminate.

Unfortunately, yes. My apologies to all Cyrillic scriptors hurted while I
assumed that every Cyrillic capital letter is a big version of its lowercase.

heading scheme seems to me as not being respectful enough.
Sorry.
