Comment (by dd32):

 [attachment:21602.diff] is an attempt at fixing this, unfortunately our
 Canonical unit tests are not designed to test the hostname (It
 specifically excludes it..) so the unit tests are a little messy.

 Hopefully someone else can see a way to fix that.


 Another option which we have, is to force the hostname in `home` and
 `site_url` being lower-case, which makes a lot of sense to me.
 Capitalizing the domain adds no benefit, as hostnames are inherently
 lower-case and most browsers treat them as such.
