Apache httpd's implementation is case-sensitive.
We probably should check at least another one (Tomcat), and in case it has the same restriction, restrict it to lowercase.

Er, no, my mistake ... Apache httpd does a tolower before comparison, so it is case-insensitive. CERN httpd is case-insensitive. Nginx only implements q for accept-encoding, but for that it is case-insensitive.

Ok. So maybe just add prose pointing out that it's case-insensitive?
