Rule 2 of "any other end tag" appears to be too strict; probably should be "If
node is not an element with the same tag name as the token, compared in an
ASCII case insensitive manner ... "  This covers the case with SVG
foreignObject and other similar elements.

Anyone disagree with this parser change?

Checked in as WHATWG revision r7883.
Check-in comment: <feBlend></feBlend> would be a parse error before. Oops.
