Part of Anne's argument was that HTML has been inconsistent on this so far.\r\n\r\nHowever, upon prompting from @esprehn, I checked all the other attributes in the HTML spec (using the attributes index). *Everything* that is comparing against a predefined set of values (including things like MIME types) is treated case-insensitively.\r\n\r\nI think introducing this new, inconsistent way of matching attribute values was a mistake.

Someone should add web platform tests for the reflection, though, since this is so unusual compared to existing reflections. My understanding is that Chrome would fail such tests.
