Hi!
Today my attention was called to RFC 7405 because of the last call I see
to promote it to Internet Standard.
In the DKIM/DKIM2 documents we use case-_sensitive_ strings frequently
enough, for much that's at the right hand side of a tag-value list item.
With RFC 7405 we could make the formal definition more clear, for
example in productions like
sig-name = "rsa-sha256" / "ed25519-sha256" / x-sig-name
Here and in all other similar places we could make it yet clearer (not
only by existing prose elsewhere) that these are case-sensitive by using
the %s prefix from RFC 7405.
Hannah.
