DU usernames rules [View all]

I'm considering renaming, so I've been wondering some things, like:

1) case sensitivity
2) space sensitivity
3) hyphen (etc) sensitivity
4) list of permissable characters?

MyName
My Name
My-Name
myname
Myname
myName
mYname

(etc)

Are these all considered unique DU usernames? My guess is they are, but does anyone know for certain?
