[SAMPLE] XML File with Different Case Tags

Restoring Bug after Bugzilla Data Loss

- HTML can show lowercase node names (via localName)
- XML should show unaffected due to its case-sensitivity

My suggestion would be to use nodeName to get tag names in an XML document
(this will preserve case and include the prefix) and localName in an HTML
document (this will lowercase automatically).

The DOM is now serilized in native code and transfered to the Inspector in InspectorDOMAgent.cpp.

We can serilize the correct nodeName case there and remove the forced lowercase code in the front end.

[PATCH] Proposed solution

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Even a document that was originally served as XHTML can become an HTML document after a document.open() call. In this case, the MIME type check in this patch would be wrong. A more correct check would be to call Document.isHTMLDocument(), but that is not exposed to JS.

There is also an issue with non-HTML elements added to HTML documents via DOM manipulation. I'd expect these to preserve their case, too.

But maybe this is a good enough improvement as it is.
