That is, when we declare equivalent identifier authorities that differ
only in >case, do we intend that equivalence rule to be applied
"inductively" (ie in cross reference values) as well?

Yes. XRI authorities are XRI authorities, even in cross-references. So
are URI authorities. xri://www.Example.Com is equivalent to
xri://www.example.com, and xri:@foo/(http://A.b.Com)/bar is equivalent
to xri:@foo/(http://a.b.com)/bar.
