As noted in my previous post [1], these tests miss:
(1) the mixture of case-sensitive and case-insensitive behavior for
attribute values in HTML4
(2) the ambiguous definition of case insensitivity in the HTML4 spec
that results in differences across browsers
(3) assertions in this area need to clearly note the differences between
the HTML4 and HTML5 specs, since they aren't compatible
Your test page for selectors makes this statement:
All user agents treated HTML attribute values tested as
case-sensitive, except Opera 12.12 on Snow Leopard. The
same version of Opera on Windows and on Lion treats as
case-sensitive.
NOTE: for case-sensitivity of the lang attribute, see
Language selectors.
As noted above, this is incorrect, numerous attributes in HTML4 are
labeled CI while HTML5 eliminates these and makes all attribute values
case sensitive.
Cheers,
