It will not help a lot if one cannot predict the use of case in element names. :-( Especially 
documents that originate from HTML of SGML have this problem, as HTML and SGML are case insensitive...

It even gets worse if you have to account for ancestors as wel... :-(

It would have been nice if the XSL standard would have provided a case sensitivity option. But on 
the other hand, it is actually more a job for XML parsers. Are there XML Parsers that have an option 
to ignore case of the input? (not using a declaration file)

Grtz,
