[Bug 10167] HTML5 Polyglot spec breaks RDFa case sensitivity

Manu, Henri, Toby, Shane, et al.

I think I hear a couple of different things from the last volley of comments. I
do not have a strong opinion one way or another, but I would like to have some
consensus on this. Before we run down a rabbit hole on these specific
instances, though, can we start by looking at the current spec? Section 6.3.3
opens with this statement:

[[
Polyglot markup uses lowercase letters for the values of the attributes in the
following list when they exist on HTML elements.
]]

And has this statement in Section 6.3.3, right before the list of attributes
whose values must be lowercase when used in HTML:

[[
Note that other specifications, such as RDFa, may place additional restrictions
on the allowed values of certain attributes. 
]]

Do these satisfy the need to respect case-sensitivity from other places? Are
there other sentences that you would like to see rewritten to strngthen that
notion?

I am open to suggestion here.

Thanks for your help.

Eliot
