Re: [svgwg] Camel-cased viewBox on SVG in HTML document matched case sensitively [Deviation from Specification] (#1032)

FWIW, over the years, I saw dozens of people get caught up by `viewbox` vs. `viewBox`. Case-sensitivity is not a useful distinction in SVG, because there's no instance where the only difference between 2 tokens was the case.

A bit off-topic, but it was a mistake to make SVG (and maybe XML) case-sensitive in the first place, and if there were a way to make parsing case-insensitive (an XML5), that would put the burden on the machines and not the humans.
