Guys, this will break tons of code and it will no longer be W3C HTML
compatiable DOM.  This is a either a bug or missing feature in
XPath, depending on your point of view...  Submit a patch to em, the logic
for checking for an HTML doc is easy:

    if (node.getDocument() instanceof org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDocument) { 
        .....
    }

Agreed.  I'll ask the guys at Jaxen (used in DOM4j and elsewhere) and JXPath what their take on this issue is.  The XPath engine is probably where the case-sensitivity issues should be addressed rather than storing a non-standard DOM.
