Can someone clarify whether the roomname in MUC is case sensitive or not?
The concept of "case sensitive" applies only to US-ASCII -- or at least
it does not apply to all UTF-8 characters. Stringprep uses the concept
of "case folding" instead.
Also clarify whether the following attributes are case sensitive or not?
1) Transaction ID (TID)
Where's that thing from?
Maybe the 'id' attribute?
2) Username in JID
Case insensitive (see nodeprep profile). Or, it is close-to case
insensitive, it also considers other similar-looking characters as the
same (like roman number four and IV).
Right, but even stringprep doesn't help you with that AFAIK.
3) Room User Nickname
Case sensitive, as it is JID resource, it goes trough resourceprep.
Correct. Some people find that confusing, though, because "vorner" is a
different person than "Vorner" (etc.).
4) Room Name
Case insensitive ‒ it is node part (username) of JID.
Correct.
5) PrivacyList Name
Unspecified. :(
I think we'd apply resourceprep to determine matching. But that needs to
be added to XEP-0016.
6) Group Name of a Roster Item.
According to section 2.3.2 of draft-saintandre-rfc3921bis, duplicate
groups are determined using the Resourceprep profile of stringprep.
I think that could be called out more prominently in the spec, so I'll
fix that in the next version.
I don't know, try looking which stringpreps and rules apply to them (in
XMPP-IM).
In specification they have not mentioned anything about this.
They do, it is just well hidden ;-)
