Description

Enumerated values like type are specced as being case insensitive, while all other attribute values are case sensitive—Sizzle is currently case sensitive across the board.

This will end up being ported into Sizzle's issue tracker. Browsers don't seem to expose a way to determine whether the attribute is enumerated. I vaguely thought there was something on an attributeNode but I was thinking of .specified. So it seems we'd either need a hard-coded list of the affected attributes or a feature test of some kind where we could cache the outcome.

This is already an issue in Sizzle: https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/issues/122. However, it's not labeled high priority as the fix requires a good amount of bytes.
