I don't think we need to special case anything. The point of normalization was
to ensure that every algorithm had a single 'canonical' form following
normalization.

We can make this normalized form 'spec-written'. The only meaningful thing was
to make sure that the comparisons were (as an implementer) made in a
case-insensitive manner (which this bug was about it having been dropped,
accidentally)
