Bob, from what you're describing, I'd recommend writing your own file
parsing routine to fix these files. It's not a difficult algorithm.
Open input file
Open new output file
Parse each char from input file, looking for "<"
When "<" found, examine next char, to determine it is either "/" or
an alpha. If so, call a user function. I'll use lcTags() for my example.
function lcTags() {
lowercase each char until ">" or "=" is found
if "=" check next char for single or double quote
if quoted, leave case as is until matching closing quote
if ">" return
}
I'm sure you get the idea. Be sure to parse by character rather than by
line.

Mike
