was raised in Berlin...

Dear KITTEN WG,

Your feedback would be appreciated on this I-D. This version
incorporates the input that Alexey and I received from folks here, as
well as discussion at the PRECIS WG session in Berlin:

http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/87/minutes/minutes-87-precis

One question in particular regarding preparation of usernames,
especially for Nico since he suggested the original text...

Version -03 said:

   3.  Uppercase and titlecase characters MAY be mapped to their
       lowercase equivalents.

In version -04, based on PRECIS WG discussion, we changed that to:

   3.  Uppercase and titlecase characters SHOULD be mapped to their
       lowercase equivalents (not doing so can lead to false positives
       during authentication and authorization, as described in
       [RFC6943]).

The rationale was that we really don't want to give people a gun to
shoot themselves with. Some folks in the PRECIS WG session leaned even
to "MUST" here, but SHOULD with an explanation of the consequences was
a compromise position. In any case, the original MAY seemed way too
weak to folks in the PRECIS WG. Please let us know if you have grave
concerns about the text in -04.

Thanks!

Peter
