Help: is soupsieve case-insensitive?
See original GitHub issueIn [122]: xml = """<Envelope><Header>...</Header></Envelope>"""
In [123]: s = BeautifulSoup(xml, "xml")
In [124]: s.select("header")
Out[124]: [<Header>...</Header>]
In [125]: s.select("Header")
Out[125]: []
Before, BeautifulSoup accepted (and I think required) case-sensitive tag name in selector.
Now that BeautifulSoup uses soupsieve, it seems that only lower-case selectors are supported.
I’m really not sure why or if I can change this behaviour.

1.7.3 has been released. Hopefully that gets where you need to be.
@dimaqq, I was testing something that wasn’t on tip. There was indeed a regression. And since I didn’t have a test in place to catch it, I wasn’t aware. I have a fix coming.
