           Summary: Spec is unclear about the case sensitivity of
                    parameter values
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.7 says that "Parameter values
might or might not be case-sensitive,depending on the semantics of the
parameter name".
Suppose, according to 4.B.b in
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/FileAPI/#slide-method-algo I convert every
character in relativeContentType to lower case, while the parameter value was
in upper case or mixed case and was case sensitive under the current semantics
of the parameter name, then this would be a violation of
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.7 .
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.7 is used in 4.B.c.

I feel that 4.B.b and 4.B.c can conflict with
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.7 under the example I have given.

Expectation : Spec clearly defines the correct algorithm.
