Summary: Sgmlop.HtmlParser uppercases all names

Initial Comment:
Sgmlop.HtmlParser uppercases all element and attribute names, 
making it difficult to treat HTML and XHTML equivalently.

For example, If I write an XPath expression, I have to be aware of 
whether it's being applied to XHTML or HTML, because 
Sgmlop.HtmlParser expects 

/HTML/HEAD/LINK[@TYPE="application/xml"]/@HREF

whereas if it's XHTML, I need to use

/html/head/link[@type="application/xml"]/@HREF

with PyExpat.

Suggested fix is to lowercase element and attribute names in 
Sgmlop.HtmlParser.
