In the HTML parser, we're ASCII case-insensitive (and not Unicode case-insensitive) so that you can do the logic using only ASCII-range single-byte manipulation.

It doesn't make sense for a selector for element "А" to match an element "a" because those elements are different everywhere else too (in XML, where it's case-sensitive, and in HTML, where they're not collapsed to one either).
