As is discussed in that bug, the domain of an email address is case-insensitive. Therefore, I don't agree that this is a bug.

jrgm commented 9 years ago

Yeah, if a relying party is considering foo@bar.com and foo@Bar.com to be two distinct email addresses, that is a bug in the relying party's code. DNS domain names are and have always been case insensitive.

Yes, that is also a bug in the relying party's code. But there is also nowhere the rule, that a domain have to be in small letters - so why Persona change it? I think this is the bug in Persona. I also think - and have the experience - that a user want to have his Email displayed as he have entered them. Please reopen the bug and fix it.
