Does namereg allow uppercase I and lowercase?
If that's the case, then Namereg for 'VitaIik' and 'VitaIik' just g0t pwn3d, one of those is uppercase and other lowercase, anyone using standard fonts on mac osx is going to lose a lot of money from phissing addresses.
If the embedded contract accept Uppercase and Lowercase. I wouldn't like to see scams.
By the way, Ethereum address are always lowercase

The namereg uses plain binary, assumed to be the UTF-8 encoding of a Unicode string.
In theory, it is possible to check that the registered name is actually ASCII in lowercase inside the contract, but that would waste resources and users would not be able to register non-ASCII names that are perfectly distinguishable from the other ASCII characters.
A sustainable solution would be to detect "dangerous" things like cyrillic characters mixed with latin characters or non-break-spaces and display them in different colours in the frontend.
TL;DR: Don't use the 'world computer' to do case checking
