[XML-SIG] 4DOM HTML erroneously using NS methods

It seems that 4DOM currently is more generous in providing this
behaviour than actually mandated. While I can find the text that says
that a body element should have a tagName of "BODY", nowhere I can see
a requirement that query function have to uppercase silently, as done,
e.g. in

    def getAttributeNode(self, name):
        return self.attributes.getNamedItem(string.upper(name))

So it seems to me that upper-casing is best done in the DOM builder,
not in the DOM implementation.
