As I see it, there are two issues with the usage of getAttribute() and getAttributeNode() APIs in WebKit:

1. As exemplified by the given testcase, getAttribute() (and getAttributeNode()) should convert its argument to lowercase before comparing against existing attributes. This is as per the specification as well.

2. Say we have an existing attribute, stored via setAttributeNS(), in uppercase. getAttribute() (and getAttributeNode()) API will however still return the existing attribute even while comparing using lowercase.
This is what causes the testcases specified in http://w3c-test.org/webapps/DOMCore/tests/submissions/Ms2ger/attributes.html for getAttribute() to fail.

I shall try and address issue 1. in this bug and open another bug for the second issue.
