Comment:
I would think the pattern attribute ought to allow patterns to specify
ignoring case. We have a system in place where users can enter product codes
in (they match a pattern), but also would like to match certain specific
strings (e.g. "freight") and want to ignore case. More generally it would seem
to make sense to allow textarea elements to accept the pattern attribute as
well.

Marking duplicate for the case-sensitivity issue.  Pattern on textarea has also been proposed, at least on the whatwg list, but wasn't added due to lack of use-cases.
