I would add that you have failed to provide any concrete example
of specific software which generates identifiers referring to
multiple distinct entities which are identical on the LHS and differ
only in case in the RHS.
I am aware of no such software, and doubt that any such software exists.
Ergo you know of no reason to deviate from the
long-standing (*decades*) rule that an identifier RHS is a
case-insensitive domain name.
Wrong!
Ergo there is no necessity for <id-right>s to be compared
case-insensitively, and the change introduced by RFC 2822 is a welcome
simplification of the protocol.
