Well the present USEFOR contains:

   o  even though commonly derived from <domain>s, <id-rights>s are
      case-sensitive (and thus, once created, are not to be altered
      during subsequent transmission or copying)

which makes our point pretty clear. The most one might add would be:

....from <domain>s (which are case-insensitive according to
[draft-ietf-dnsext-insensitive-06]), <id-rights>s are ...

But actually, <domain> is an RFC 2822 syntax rule, so it really derives
its case-insensitivity from there. I would be inclined to leave it be.
