Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-08-31 23:29:19 UTC
This only affects selector matching, right? <input type="button"> and <input type="BUTTON"> still work the same at the logic level, even in XML?
Comment 4 Anne 2011-09-01 08:02:27 UTC
They represent the same because enumerated attributes are always case-insensitive. To make the bindings also always apply we need to use this "i" operator from Selectors (rather than the "/* case-insensitive */" annotation).

Comment 7 Simon Pieters 2011-10-13 05:14:35 UTC
The fix to the rendering section looks good. However, the list in http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/links.html#selectors is still there.
Comment 8 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-10-13 19:35:14 UTC
Ah, right.

I suppose we still have to have the bit about the class attribute, right? I'll move that to the class attribute section, I guess.
Comment 9 Anne 2011-10-14 02:32:20 UTC
Right, the bit about classes is correct.
