Lowercasing of tag/attribute names

I have a patch in my tree that moves lowercasing of tag/attribute names 
back into the tokenizer class rather than being part of the 
normalizeToken method in the parser class. The case foling is controlled 
by an attribute so the XML parser is able to switch of case folding. 
There are several reasons this approach may be preferable to what we 
currently have (following an IRC discussion with Phillip Tayloy and 
hsivonen):
Easier to share tokenizer test cases with other projects
Elimination of duplicate attributes follows the text of the spec more 
closely
Future additions to HTML may include case-sensitive names e.g. if <svg> 
subtrees are ever introduced

Are there any strong objections to checking in this change? It passes 
our existing tests.
