Here is Domenic's summary: > browsers are not interoperable about what type of Unicode case-insensitivity they implement here, with WebKit even using case-sensitive matching for the radio button case (but not for the image map case). Data from Blink's use counters reveals however that the Unicode case-insensitivity is never triggered, and even ASCII case-insensitivity is triggered extraordinarily rarely. Additionally, the semantics of these attributes is more like an identifier than anything else, and so case-insensitive comparison never really made sense in the first place (it was only done for legacy Internet Explorer compatibility). As such, we move to converge on case-sensitive matching in all cases. The change has been made to WhatWG's HTML doc and to Blink. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity/issues/206#issuecomment-327561225 using your GitHub account
