> So XML is now case-sensitive.
Sounds good, but what is the general opinion about case-sensitivity
in XML applications? My own feeling is that it might be appropriate
too have case insensitivity when you for example do a structural
search in an XML browser or editor. It could also be useful when
specifying patterns in XSL and alike. These things may of course fail i=
f
the document designer has chosen to distinguish elements only by
case but I think that's unlikly to happen. I also have the
feeling that the problem of case insensitive string comparison
is not as dificult as the one of case folding. Case folding
is a one to one mapping that might not be the same for different
languages but when comparing strings you can treat groups of character,=
differentiated only in case and diacritics, to be the same. For
example the characters i, =EC, =ED, =EE, I, =CC etc could be treated as=
being
equal in this situation. Is this a correct assumtion or am I missing
something?
