Of course we can just convert the file into lowercase/uppercase before
setting libxml2 on it, but if thereâs an option, Iâd rather not.


In general it's not possible.  There are languages in which
case conversion is locale-sensitive (eg. French).

And you might turn a valid document into an invalid document,
or one that is not even well-formed, e.g. if a vocabular distinguishes
ID and id attributes on an element.

XML does not allow case insensitivity, as Daniel has mentioned.
