Based on the types initially defined, the use of lowercase only values may make sense, but for the recently registered values from the RDAP Profile for redaction includes mixed case to exactly match the values in the source policy.  The use of lowercase is a non-normative "should", so would future registration requests that have justification for mixed case run into an issue and be considered a violation of the criteria?  Should we consider updating the criteria in RFC 9083 based on the implementation experience of the recent registrations or provide additional clarity in draft-ietf-regext-rdap-extensions?

James,

Those are all good points, and I am unaware of any impact on 
implementations from the mixed case registrations. I think the need to 
match text from another document is a good use case and overrides any 
desired "style". I'll change this section in a PR and pass the link when 
it is up. Until then I have created this tracking issue.

Thanks for the input.
