This is an update to the part of the "Declaration of syntactic
structure" that describes that comparison is to be case-insensitive
but URNs must be transmitted as registered.  It extends this rule to
restrict private defintions to have a definite case as well, and
copies the rule that an entity should use a single <provider> value
for all their definitions.

I don't think this will be controversial, but previously we hadn't
specified that private definitions must have fixed cases.
