Supporting uppercase attributes should be abandoned and my next patch will
abandon it forever. It is *bad* XML.
<p props=""> and <p PROPS=""> should not both validate against any DTD.
Supporting uppercase should be considered a bug. The file format is not set
in stone and not yet at 1.0. Documents with these settings tend to be very
old ones or hand-crafter anyway.
