For what it's worth, the "case insensitive" parts of HTML use ASCII case insensitivity. But they only apply to a limited set of identifiers. For anything where user-provided stuff is used, HTML is case-sensitive. An exception is quirks mode, where some things like id and class matching for CSS are ASCII case-insensitive. And I think (1) would be fine by me. -Boris
