Description

[Phil Schwartau]

This is the Rhino version of bug 76054 in SpiderMonkey -
Reporter: [e-mail]

"I've noticed the HTML methods of String.prototype return uppercase tags.  
The latest HTML recommendation from the W3C specifies lowercase tags -- 
example: <big>k</big> instead of <BIG>k</BIG>."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type javascript:alert("k".big()) into your location bar.


Actual Results:    Alert window containing "<BIG>k</BIG>".
Expected Results:  Alert window containing "<big>k</big>".
