rsb-0.13

Description

Right now it is not specified I think, but URIs are case-sensitive which they shouldn`t. Separating URIs just by cases should not be done and therefore not be possible.

In addition case-insensitivity would improve usability in cases where I have to write URIs by hand, e.g. when starting a logger via command-line.

Remove note about scope case-sensitivity

URI paths are case-sensitive according to RFC3986 and therefore
case-sensitive scopes, which are only used in paths and not the host
portion, do not interfere with the idea of using URIs consistently.

Status changed from New to Feedback

Proposal:

URIs are (remain?) case insensitive
Scopes are always lower-case (to avoid mixing of cases but remain runtime-efficient)
Provide a (normalization) method for scopes, for example to convert a URI path to a valid scope (converting to lower-case, stripping double-slashes, …)

See minor changes to the specification attached.
