If we consider TC/SC are not the names similar but just like
Uppercase/Lowercase English letter. But we do not want TC/SC
to be folding to one side.
User can use all TC(Uppercase) or all SC(Lowercase) or mixed
TC/SC(Uppercase/Lowercase) as they presumed. And we need the DNS
treat TC/SC(Uppercase/Lowercase) as the same when compare with
cache RR.

If you think of TC/SC requirement is non-technical human means,
then hou about Uppercase/Lowercase English letter deal in DNS?
