(Likely related to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169747 ) Browsing context name keywords should not be case-sensitive (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#browsing-context-names). Steps to reproduce issue: 1. `window.open` a document into `_pARent` Expected behavior: Browser should choose parent browsing context, if one available, or current browsing context if current is a top-level browsing context. Actual behavior: Browser creates a new browsing context (i.e. tab/window) Browser appears to be choosing a new, not-previously-existing, non-keyword browsing context when given `_pARent` Subsequent calls to `window.open` into `pARent` are reusing the new browsing context created by the first invocation Related web-platform-tests tests: https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/5150

Concluded in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2443#issuecomment-289043039 that case-insensitive is better.
