Here's an excerpt from a recent twtxt conversation with @buckket:

2016-02-13T10:07:37+0000    Are #twtxt @usernames case-sensitive?
2016-02-13T11:52:04+01:00   @<kas https://enotty.dk/twtxt.txt> As far as mentions go: yes.
2016-02-13T11:13:48+0000    @buckket [Yes, I was referring to mentions.] Then my next question is: does case-sensitivity make any sense in that context? #twtxt
2016-02-13T13:15:22+01:00   @<kas https://enotty.dk/twtxt.txt> None, really. We could make it case-insensitive.

I suggest we make mention matching case-insensitive. The rationale is that it places the burden of formatting and recognizing mentions/usernames on the software, and makes it easier for end users. We should never place that burden on end users.
