The following errata report has been submitted for RFC4343,
"Domain Name System (DNS) Case Insensitivity Clarification".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5112

--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Change "should" to must in section 3.(no subsection) <rich.tom@alticeusa.com>

Section: 3

Original Text
-------------
comparisons on name lookup for DNS queries should be case insensitive

Corrected Text
--------------
comparisons on name lookup for DNS queries must be case insensitive

Notes
-----
Some authoritative DNS servers and/or mitigation devices/software silently drop queries that have uppercase letters in them.  Furthermore, the clarification of the case insensitive comparison in the following two sentences after that particular sentence use the term MUST.  I suspect some readers of the RFC are reading the word "should" and aren't reading the rest of the paragraph.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
