I would only add that if you have a need for a case-insensitive XML- 
like dialect,
you could use the HTML parser, which by its nature, is case  
insensitive, or you
could use xmllint with the "--html --xmlout" options to convert from  
HTML to
XHTML (or thereabouts), merging the case of tags as you go.  If you  
aren't
really working with HTML, don't pass "--valid" to check against the HTML
DTD.
