Authors and authoring software mint prefixes, and there is no prefix
defined in any CSS specification. I would specify a comparison function
that is sensitive to case, but I won’t make a fuss over the matter.
Insensitivity to case creates the edge case which the following style
sheet demonstrates. Which declaration wins? Why?
/* U+0069 Latin small letter I */
@namespace istanbul url("data:,example");
/* U+0069 Latin small letter I */
istanbul|example {color: blue}
/* U+0131 Latin small letter dotless I */
ıstanbul|example {color: yellow}
