The matching rule for attribute names and element names, [1] doesn't match reality, see demo: [2] * Gecko uses ASCII case-insensitive matching (as specced by HTML5) * Trident/Webkit/Presto use Unicode caseless matching (variant). (Legacy Firefox 3.6 behave like Trident/Webkit/Presto too.) The differences affect @data-* and @x-* (and other extensions). Shouldn't spec match Trident/WEbkit/Presto?
