Proposal:
1) Replace
" * The strong comparison function: in order to be considered equal, both validators MUST be identical in every way, and both MUST NOT be weak.
- The weak comparison function: in order to be considered equal, both validators MUST be identical in every way, but either or both of them MAY be tagged as "weak" without affecting the result."
and
" * The strong comparison function: in order to be considered equal, both opaque-tags MUST be identical character-by-character, and both MUST NOT be weak.
- The weak comparison function: in order to be considered equal, both opaque-tags MUST be identical character-by-character."
This uses "opaque-token" instead of "validator" in the definition of the matching functions.
2) Add the table below.
