If there are multiple mechanisms, then the namespace prefix declared by a given mechanism is case-sensitive or case-insensitive as defined by that mechanism. If a case-sensitive mechanism declares FOO and a case-insensitive mechanism declares foo, then foo can only match the second declaration, and FOO will match the first or the second depending on which mechanism takes precedence, which is outside the scope of the Selectors spec since it does not specify a namespace declaration mechanism. Basically, a case-insensitive declaration declares all case variants of the prefix. ~fantasai
