Furthermore, lowercasing the local name on createElementNS still wouldn't be enough to hide the actual implementation strategy of the appearance of selector case-insensitivity unless the createAttributeNode[NS] hole were plugged as well. (The HTML5 spec currently plugs the hole, but I think it's weird in principle and implementation-wise annoying if assigning an attribute node to an HTML element mutates the supposedly immutable internal state of the attribute node, which is why I filed http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6689 .) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
