Microsoft API Guidelines needs an update to clarify the Permissive-In / Strict-Out naming policy for API request and response.
https://github.com/microsoft/api-guidelines/blob/vNext/graph/GuidelinesGraph.md#naming
Add a section under Naming Conventions Input/Output Handling
Recommend that APIs:
- Accept a broader range of inputs (e.g., case-insensitive, lenient formats)
- Emit consistent, canonical outputs (e.g., strict casing, normalized values)
Encourage documentation of canonical forms and accepted variants
