Case sensitive

[ThomasNieto]

For resource authoring best practices have we decided if the following should be case sensitive or not?

• Resource property names
• Resource property values

For example, Windows services should the service name submitted as bits return BITS or should that fail?

Fundamentally, whether a property name or value is case sensitive should be determined and indicated by the resource. Unfortunately, currently, we don't have a way to represent case insensitivity for either property names or values in JSON Schema.

To support case insensitivity we will need to define custom keywords in an expanded vocabulary. While we can then ensure that DSC parses and understands those keywords, we can't guarantee that any other tools will implement those keywords to correctly validate the data, which affects Bicep, VS Code, and all higher order tools.
