Dear colleagues,

In Remco van Mook's presentation to the Address Policy WG at RIPE 82: "What Colour Is My IP(v4) space? PI Addresses and LIRs", he pointed out that resource "status:" attribute values may not always be all UPPERCASE.

This is because the RIPE database is case-insensitive and case preserving in general, meaning a "status:" attribute value is the same regardless of the case.

However, this may make parsing this value more difficult as the case should be ignored.

Should the DB team implement a rule to always force the "status:" attribute value to uppercase, for consistency?

Regards
