[Bug 4665] Clarify URI equivalence in reference to RFC 3986

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4665





------- Comment #3 from kumarp@microsoft.com  2007-09-26 21:22 -------
The original proposal was for case insensitive comparison. In the conf call on
9/20/2007, the WG indicated preference for case sensitive comparison. The
proposal was then verbally changed to reflect that opinion. 

Thus, the resultant proposal as discussed during the 9/20 conf call was:

Uri equivalence in SML-IF should be defined as case sensitive simple string
comparison based on codepoint-by-codepoint comparison of the corresponding
characters in the uri. 

The WG reached consensus on this proposal on 9/20. The spec has already been
updated to reflect this.
