RE: iSCSI: Case-sensitivity in iSCSI names

[Robert Snively <rsnively@Brocade.COM>]

I did want to point out one characteristic of this.

	Whatever mechanism you use to assign the names SHALL
	cross check each name you assign for compliance with
	NAMEPREP normalization.  

This gets especially sticky as
the folded cases and the multi-character cases are
resolved.  Basically, I would expect that the name would
get run through NAMEPREP's latest revision.  If it came
out unchanged, you have selected a valid name.  If it
came out changed, you have to either use a different name
or use the normalized changed name.  In either of the
mismatch cases, you must be careful to avoid duplications.
