We do.

Given the response from you and Martin Dürst, I think that's sufficient to convince me that we should clarify it as ASCII case-insensitive. If the i18n wg disagrees, then we can raise it again as an issue. :) > Note that Section 5.8.1 should be updated to reference BCP 47 and in > particular RFC 4647 Basic Filtering. I think it would be more confusing than helpful to reference RFC4647, given that the string-matching rules are given in the normative prose and RFC4647 includes some much more sophisticated matching possibilities. However, I did file an issue on updating to BCP 47. ~fantasai
