What is the justification for making this change? I can't find anything on w3.org that suggests that these values should be lowercase and the documentation seems to suggest that for the 'type' attribute the values should all be upper case, http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/dtd.html#InputType

Type attribute is lower case even in html4.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.2
Furthermore in xhtml element and attribute names must be in lower case.
And we try to be forward compatible with xhtml when it doesn't break html4 specification.
