Makes encoding comparison case-insensitive, metadata, copyright changes (6.95 KB, patch)

Description Andrew Clover 2003-12-12 14:25:25 UTC 
level3/core/getinputencoding01,
level3/core/getinputencoding03:
level3/core/getinputencoding04:

Generated encoding string comparison should be case-insensitive, I see nowhere
in the spec stating that encoding names not read from a document must be
uppercased. Additionally, getinputencoding04 description mentions
getXmlEncoding, should be inputEncoding.
Comment 1 Curt Arnold 2003-12-15 19:36:13 UTC 
From http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets

The character set names may be up to 40 characters taken from the
printable characters of US-ASCII.  However, no distinction is made
between use of upper and lower case letters.

That would suggest that comparison should be case-insensitive as suggested.
