I'm not clear what edits you are proposing but I do think that submitting an updated draft is fine and we can look at that and see how it maps to the various discuss/comment points more easily than fully process this many threads in parallel. That said, I don't agree that the "rule" you state above is universal - messy as it may be, reality requires dealing with both case sensitive and case insensitive identifiers as well as i18n for string comparisons. In the case of key ids, I don't think there's a generic i18n issue, but there is a real issue that DNS names will be used as part of key ids. That real issue cannot be wished away via specification language no matter how smart or subtle so any updated text that does not have some level of messiness will unfortunately likely not be fit for purpose. (If however your edits are pretty much along the lines of the text previously discussed, then as I've said, I'll be fine to clear the discuss.)
