I still think we should make matching on values always case-sensitive,
including in HTML.
Does that not have compatibility problems? e.g. I'm sure people do:
<P ALIGN=CENTER> ... </P>
Sure, but I highly doubt people do that and expect
p[align=center]
to work, especially since that has not always worked in all browsers.
(Other than some popular Selectors test suite.)
To clarify, what I meant to say is that I still think matching on
attribute values in Selectors for HTML should always be case-sensitive and
we should not have a magic list.
