Hi,

Just a comment to add to this discussion...  I don't think the DOM spec
requires case insensitive compares of strings, but it would be nice if there
were a way of doing case insensitive compares without having to do a
translation to a char * (using transcode) and then doing a strcmpi on the
strings.

It looks like the DOMString::equals method is case sensitive.  Can I make a
request for a case-insensitive version of this method such as
DOMString::equalsi?

Are you saying you think that the *spec* says it shouldn't be case
sensitive or that you don't think it should? If the spec says it shouldn't
then clearly it shouldn't. But, otherwise XML is pretty much completely
case sensitive and I wouldn't see any reason why this particular API should
be any different.

Element.getAttribute(String name) in Xerces 1.0.1 requires that name is
provided
case-sensitive ie as it it saved in th e XML file, but I think that the
implementation should
be NOT case-sensitive!
