Description (last modified by Renato Alencar)

According to the RFC4122 A Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) URN Namespace, the formal definition of an UUID string includes hexadecimal digits in uppercase. But the current implementation of the UUID URL converter only supports lowercase digits (from a to f).

Thanks for this ticket, however this is a ​document and intended behavior which prevents multiple URLs from mapping to the same page:

uuid - Matches a formatted UUID. To prevent multiple URLs from mapping to the same page, dashes must be included and letters must be lowercase. For example, 075194d3-6885-417e-a8a8-6c931e272f00. Returns a UUID instance.

See #28883 for a related discussion.
