Reassigning to Dom Level 0; not an Engine issue -

Mozilla is intentionally not fully compatible with the DOM WRT character case in
input types, the reason for this is that following the DOM spec (mozilla did that
up until a few months ago) breaks a lot of existing content on the web. Right now
mozilla is compible with older versions of both NS and IE. Marking WONTFIX.

The referenced test case ought to be changed to a more permissive test (a one-
letter change) or at least to reference this bug instead of saying "Bug Report 
Required".  Otherwise it will waste the time of everyone who runs the regression 
tests for the first time.

Adding cc for Christine Dreckman, the contact for test case maintenance.

Also, there are other test case manifesting this same WontFix bug and saying
"Bug report required" -- all the flavors of buttons.  They too should be either
relaxed or should reference this bug.
