-----------------------------------

Hi Phil - thanks for bringing this up, I didn't even realize that 
stringignorecase was an option. Can you think of any reason why we wouldn't 
want to just change all of these HTML-related match values to use 
stringignorecase?

> Currently in tika-mimetypes.xml for the mime type text/html (and possibly 
> others) matches in a couple different cases are provided for the elements so 
> that varying HTML writing styles are matched. As of version 1.5 of Tika the 
> ability exists to make these case insensitive using the "stringignorecase" 
> type. This would allow consolidation of some matches and improve detection of 
> poorly-formed HTML that would be rendered by most browsers regardless of case.
> For example:
>       <match value="&lt;BODY" type="string" offset="0"/>
>       <match value="&lt;body" type="string" offset="0"/>
> could become:
>       <match value="&lt;BODY" type="stringignorecase" offset="0"/>
