I'm suggesting we support only a single representation of a role across all projects: 'admin', 'Admin', and 'admIn' would be three separate roles.

Are you suggesting otherwise?

It points out that Nova and Keystone are both case-insensitive when it comes to role comparison, yet Glance *is* case sensitive. I'm in favor of moving other projects to a case-sensitive approach for two main reasons:
