I actually do have one issue with a recent change in -10 which I consider to be serious, because it broke my Sieve implementation (as well as CMU's)

I actually have a problem with *numbers* being case-insensitive. Cyrus
Sieve doesn't accept "k", "m" and "g" prefixes in numbers.

So I would like to poll the WG regarding this issue. Do people want to make to make number case-insensitive, or should this change be undone? (In the latter case there is one example in 3028bis-10 which uses lowercase 'k' now, which has to change)

Thanks,
