woe to us when we find a way of giving the LLMs static analysis tools to aid them in this :)

e.g. think what an LLM that is trained to construct TLA+ to help in analysis could do

Like, even just using urlparse() from different languages exposes us to implementation difference issues, so a simple split("#")[0] equality is *way* better than urlparse & field comparison for security reasons.

which means lowercasing is a bad-bad!

I’d say we should rewrite these standards to have a “here’s how an ideal world would look like” and then “here’s what you might want to do for compatibility with existing implementations” approach, instead of that horrible MUST/MAY/SHOULD trainwreck.

e.g. ideal world: “host and scheme should be lower case”, compat work: “you can lowercase them before comparison, but do it like this: <instructions>”
