Thanks, Marc. Here is my understanding of what needs to be done:

In RFC 7564:

1. Change §5.2.3 to mention Unicode toLower() as an alternative to 
Unicode Default Case Folding and describe the circumstances in which 
toLower() is appropriate.

2. Change the order of operations in §7 from MUST to SHOULD (we've 
already deviated from that slightly in RFC 7613 §3.2.1).

3. Clarify the meaning of 'preparation' (because it is different from 
what stringprep meant by the term).

In RFC 7613:

a. Revisit Unicode Default Case Folding here, too.

b. Modify the *presentation* (but not the content) of the rules for each 
profile, along the lines of what we did in RFC 7700 (i.e., describe the 
rules in one section and then use them in separate sections on 
preparation, enforcement, and comparison).

We'll also want to review and correct the errata that have been reported.

I can commit to doing this work.
