  - In URLs, the domain name is case insensitive per RFC 4343, but URLs in general are case sensitive, http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html
 
+Options
+ - Define slice names and authority names as case insensitive, but requiring (suggesting?) that services are case preserving
+  - Note however that in the context of a URN that is case sensitive, this is a little funny
+ - Define these strings, or all URNs, as strictly lowercase (so case sensitivity is not a problem)
+ - Note that while URNs are case sensitive, some services that operate on URNs are case insensitive, so URN generating services and clients must avoid conflicts based on case - either by being case insensitive, or by generating URNs that follow a fixed case pattern of their choosing.
+ - Get a new GENI namespace (not publicid) and define our own subset of the URN spec that codifies one of these alternatives (strictly lowercase, case insensitive)
