What I was thinking?!  I had the property dtd in mind that requires the 
elements all be in lower cases, so therefore I should ignore case and 
allow it -- any better logic than that? :-)

Fixed now. And also added a couple of test cases.  Elements with wrong 
case would still have been rejected, but the error messages would be 
different.

I added some test cases to test validation, compatibility and etc.  Alan 
thinks we'll use the ones currently in the JDK repository for now.

Thanks,
