The question that spawned this is someone in #whatwg asking whether ID's are
case-sensitive -- e.g., if <label for="foo"> is associated with something that
has id="FOO".  Since then, you've added the text "Except where otherwise
stated, string comparisons must be performed in a case-sensitive manner", so I
think this is clear enough by now.  To be slightly clearer, you could change
all instances of "to be the ID of X" to read "to be equal to the ID of X", but
I don't think it's necessary.
