Insensitive iTunes

Mark Pilgrim : it appears that iTunes uses a real,
draconian, namespace-aware XML parser... except that namespaces are
case-insensitive.
What’s worse, is that the
high
profile Disney
The Gears Behind the Ears feed appears to be
depending on this functionality, as well as on other
non-
standard element definitions.

iTunes uses a real, draconian XML parser. iTunes the application looks like it contains some case-insensitive processing. For example, this horrible creation seems to function in iTunes. iTunes seems to ignore elements in the iTunes namespace with iNcorrEct cases, but liberally munges RSS elements. But, the parser is still draconian. A document that begins <RsS> and ends with </rss> won’t work.
Oh, and there’s this:
[Macintosh:/Applications/iTunes.app] sayrer% grep -r PodCast-1.0 *
Binary file Contents/MacOS/iTunes matches
[Macintosh:/Applications/iTunes.app] sayrer% grep -r Podcast-1.0 *
[Macintosh:/Applications/iTunes.app] sayrer%

For example, this horrible creation seems to function in iTunes.
But wait! There’s more! I’ve devised some more tests ( [link] ). To sum up what we’ve discovered so far:
Namespaces are case-insensitive, which is actually a good thing, since the namespace defined in the spec is wrong. (Holy wellformedness, Batman! Even my Ultraliberal^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Universal Feed Parser missed that one. Quick, to the UnitTestCave!)
Tag names outside the iTunes namespace are case-insensitive. Been there, done that. Look for me at Apachecon this fall; I’ll be the guy wearing a nametag that reads “Hello my name is textinput.”
iTunes completely ignores HTTP. Content-type is me"
