(2.4.2.3) Address comparasons are defined to be case-insensitive on the local

I think that I suggested making the comparason case-insensitive on the
domain part (not local part). The COMPARATOR argument defines the
comparason for the local part (which defaults to "i:ascii-casemap").
For internet mail addresses, the COMPARATOR type of "i;octet" should
be used if the system supports case-sensitive "localpart", ie mailbox.
This should allow scripts to distinguish between addresses like:
username(_at_)company(_dot_)com, USERNAME(_at_)company(_dot_)com
while treating the following addresses as the same:
username(_at_)company(_dot_)com, username(_at_)COMPANY(_dot_)COM
