Let me rephrase that :-) If HTML attributes are case insensitive, then=20
tal:attributes should replace attributes in a case insensitive fashion ie=
=20
they should replace 'onchange' with 'onChange' if that's what you asked
for. Admitedly this is probably unnecessary, and may even be problematic =
for=20
