The original choice was somewhat arbitrary. I have found that it is usually more convenient for tokens to have a canonical representation. That way you operate on the input and then compare for equivalence. Otherwise you have to operate on both input and what is compared against, and then compare for equivalence. For headers it probably does not matter much either way and given the existence of broken servers it's probably better if we don't canonicalize.

@andresgutgon I suspect @mnot is interested in the server's address where you are encountering this issue.
