Description

Although relation type is compared in a case-insensitive fashion: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8288#section-3.3 , currently cameCase describedBy is used in NSS. Although the term is originally lowercased:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml

https://www.w3.org/2007/powder/powder-errata#describedby

https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/#link-relation-describedby

https://www.w3.org/ns/iana/link-relations/relation#describedby

Change will not break applications that conform to RFC 8288 (ie. should be case-insensitive comparison any way).
