I've added statements to the specification to this effect.  I've
attached the new draft and its HTML view to this email, for your ongoing
review.

With respect to compatibility, I think it's acceptable to advise users
who are interested in portability that they should craft the function
call carefully on case-insensitive systems.  For example, they can
choose to use `system-property("env:HOME")` instead of
`system-property("env:Home")`, even if both might work on a particular
system.  Of course, this requires them to be aware of the nuances on
their system and on other possible target systems, but I don't think
there's any way for us to help relieve that.

Take care,
