A good idea.  But my point still stands that a language map should be in a 
different tag proposal, if possible.  There may still be other issues with 
changing this proposal from language-tagged strings to language-tagged maps 
that haven't been dealt with yet, but again, I don't mind if tag 38 
eventually does take that course.

We generally handle problematic cases like this well by simply disallowing 
their use by the sender.
It then matters less how a receiver handles incoming improper streams.

Maybe this is another reason to require case-mapping to lower-case.
More aggressively, maybe combine this with at least a “SHOULD” for canonical 
form as in section 4.5 of RFC 5646?
