They can be considered equivalent and they can be considered different.
If you make a crawler and find you have to aggressively weed out dupli-
cates, you might find it best to consider them equivalent. In other
cases you might find it best to consider them different. You may also
have specific knowledge about `example.org` that provides an answer.
Unlike for, say, the difference between "http:" and "HTTP:" there is no
generic specification that answers your question.
