For the given testcase, if we were to use setAttribute() instead of setAttributeNS(), there is no issue.

The specification for setAttribute() clearly states that the "name" parameter of the API should be converted to ASCII lowercase (before use) whereas, the specification for setAttributeNS() has no such mandate.
[http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#dom-element-setattribute]

This is perhaps what causes the setAttributeNS() method to store case sensitive attributes thereby failing the given testcase.

The question is whether WebKit too should follow Gecko and handle setAttributeNS() in a manner similar to setAttribute().
