Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2013-12-12 10:12:30 PST 
Currently, WebCrypto editor's draft stipulates that algorithm name is lowercased as part of normalization.

But it makes little sense to register algorithms as mixed (mostly upper) case, but return the name lowercased. Our implementations don't bother respecting this, and signs are that the spec will change.

I'd like to match other implementations here, because sticking to the spec only makes us fail 3rd party test suites for no good reason.
