In "3.2.2 Host", rfc2396bis-04 says: "Although host is case-insensitive, producers and normalizers should use lowercase for host names and hexadecimal addresses for the sake of uniformity, while only using uppercase letters for percent-encodings." It may be that all currently used systems of registry or service names are indeed case-insensitive, but it seems highly unadequate to restrict the use of URIs to future registry or service name systems that are case-insensitive. The text above seems to be a remainder of the time when host==DNS, and should be fixed, e.g. saying that many registry or service name systems are cases-insensitive, and that lower case should be used whenever it is known that the name used is case-insensitive, but that registry or service names may not always be case-insensitive. Section 6 should also be checked, there may be similar issues. Regards, Martin.Received on Sunday, 7 March 2004 06:43:21 UTC
