I created a DFDL Workgroup tracker for these suggestions:

Subject: I recommend renaming the "ignoreCase" DFDL property

Hi Folks,

Suppose that a data format has this separator: sep

Specifying the data format requires us to specify whether the case of the 
separator matters.

XML Schema is a declarative language. DFDL is also intended to be declarative.

I looked up "ignore" in a dictionary. The dictionary says that "ignore" is a 
verb.

I assert that declarative languages should avoid verbs.

Instead of "ignoreCase" I believe that "caseSensitive" would be a better name 
for the property.

caseSensitive :: yes | no

In the next version of Daffodil, can you allow schemas to use "caseSensitive" 
rather than "ignoreCase" please?

/Roger
