It didn't align with the my assumption when I was implementing, which
is why I asked:)

With respect to URIs, I believe that the scheme and host are always
case-intensive but the case-sensitivity of the other parts are scheme
dependent and that, in general, comparison is hard and error prone. It
just feels like a slippery slope to start adding
normalization/comparison rules to scope.  But with that said, it's not
a big deal and I won't quibble about it.
