PROPOSAL to close ISSUE-47: case-sensitivity for terms

If there are no objections to this proposal by this Thursday, October
21st at 13:00 UTC, we will close ISSUE-47: case-sensitivity for terms.

http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/track/issues/47

This proposal asserts that term matching should follow the following
algorithm:

When determining if a term exists in the list of term mappings:

1. Perform a case-sensitive match on the list of term mappings and
   if successful, use the corresponding mapping
2. Perform a case-insensitive match on the list of term mappings and
   if successful, use the corresponding mapping.

This addresses the issue that Gregg Kellogg raised and places less of a
limitation on the allowable Terms in @rel/@rev/@datatype,@property and
@typeof.

Please comment before Thursday, October 21st at 13:00 UTC if you object
to this proposal. If there are no objections by that time, this issue
will be closed. If there are objections, the RDFa Working Group will
perform a straw-poll and decide whether or not to close the issue before
entering Last Call.
