------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like ppp is equal to PPP. Comparisons are case insensitive, at least for
ASCII. Thus lexicopgraphic order is not true. Seems to be the case for Unicode
too.

> Project: Maven Project Web Site (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> On [https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Version_Order_Specification] we use the
> terms " {{lexicographical order}}" and "alphabetical order". Neither is
> defined, and they need to be.
> For example does "PPP" sort before, after, or the same as "ppp"? I don't know.
> Lexicographic order also has more than one reasonable definition:
> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order]
> Perhaps we can simply rewrite the version order section to not use these
> terms as long as we're clear about what does happen.
