I updated the tokeniser and tokeniser tests a few days ago, to do the
lowercased doctype names. I didn't upate the tree-construction test
cases at the same time, since I only wanted to worry about the
tokeniser. So I believe those tests ought to be updated to expect
lowercased doctype names, and if you can patch them then that'd be
great.

Is it the existence of the parse error that's confusing? That
particular example is non-conforming anyway because it's missing the
<title> element, but I think <!doctype html><title></title></html>
should be conforming yet it still gives a parse error... I'll post
something to the WHATWG list about that.
