This doesn't explain what the canonical form is. So maybe something like: "When there is a 'trailer.<token>.key' configuration value defined, this value becomes the canonical form of the <token> trailer, so when a trailer matching <token> is read from standard input, it is changed to this canonical value." > This means that it will use the exact spelling > +(upper case vs lower case and separator) defined in configuration. Maybe: "This means that the key part of the trailer will use the exact spelling (upper case vs lower case and separator) defined in the configuration."
