  I'm wondering if there's a way using XPath and some pattern to find
  case *insensitive* matches for a particular app_name??

I think this is in the FAQ list.

If you don't mind a certain anglo-saxon bias then this isn't so bad

app_name[translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')='abc']

If you need to handle accented letters, the lists get longer; if you need
to handle a German sharp S uppercasing to the two characters SS then
you have to work a lot harder.
