That was a lot of the argument on xml-uri. Some folks seemed to think
that HTTP's rules for case-insensitivity (host name always insensitive)
should apply URIs across the board, but there was no consensus on that,
I believe.
Perhaps I've read too much into that to say there is no equality
function for URIs, but I suspect that there is no equality function
which can function successfully across all of the URI schemes.
I believe pure string equivalence always returns correct positives, but
also a large number of false negatives.
