Re: case insensitive retrieval of attribute names

Sorry. XML is defined as being case-sensitive. The DOM really isn't allowed
to ignore case, and you really shouldn't be designing a language that asks
it to.

If you really need this behavior, I can see two solutions.

1) Fold your document to a single case before parsing it.

2) Use the item() accessor for NamedNodeMaps to manually walk through all
the attributes of this element, and perform your own case-insensitive test
of their names.

Note that either of these is likely to badly confuse anyone you are
exchanging XML files with, since they would have no reason to expect your
document to be case-insensitive.


REMINDER: XML USES UNICODE. Don't assume that you can just flip one bit to
convert between cases!
