[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-336) Be more generous on accepting values for the $format query option

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-336?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=33053#action_33053 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-336:
-------------------------------------

Supporting case insensitivity is extra work/overhead on the service. We generally tend to be case sensitive for keywords where there's no significant client value in having the service do case-insensitive compares; i.e., things like function names, query options, etc.
