Re: ZigBee Alliance "xcl" URN Formal Application

I see that "Declaration of syntactic structure" says:

      URNs assigned by the ZigBee Alliance will have the following
      structure based on the organizational structure of the resources
      specified in the ZigBee Alliance specifications:

        urn:zcl:<NSS>

      where the syntax of "<NSS>" is specified in Section 2.2 of the URN
      Syntax requirements [RFC2141].

whereas "Rules for Lexical Equivalence" says:

      The "<NSS>" is case-sensitive. Only lower case letters are
      considered valid.

These are not consistent, since <NSS> allows upper-case letters (both as
part of %-escapes and in their own right).

If you really mean to forbid upper-case letters, you need to state that
in "syntactic structure".  E.g.,

        urn:zcl:<NSS>

      where the syntax of "<NSS>" is specified in Section 2.2 of the URN
      Syntax requirements [RFC2141], except that it may not contain
      upper-case letters.

Also, the "urn" and namespace parts are case-insensitive (RFC 2141,
sections 2 and 2.1), so "equivalence" should be updated to, perhaps

       The "<NSS>" portion of URNs is compared as a character string.
