While I appreciate the push for consistency, it feels weird to me to hypenate "case-insensitive" but not "case sensitive." AFAICT, the more common approach is to hyphenate both.
WDYT about always hyphenating both variants in the spec?

I think hyphenating might be more correct as it's an adjective, so I'm in favour

We used both "case-sensitive" and "case sensitive", switching to the variant used first in the spec.
Happy to switch the other way round.
