Safari XML parser converts attributes to lower case?

Question

I am trying to create and serialize XML documents using Safari 2.01. It appears that during this process, XML attributes are always converted to lower case. Since XML is case sensitive, this causes errors when mixed case is expected. My sample code (below) works properly (attributes not converted to lower case) in FireFox, Netscape, etc.
Questions are:
Is there a way to load/serizlize XML in Safari so that this does not happen?
If not, is this behavior by design or is it a bug? Will this be changed in future versions?
Thanks for any assistance!
Sample code:
// Create XML document
var xmlString = '<Test MixedCase="test">SomeText</Test>'
var parser = new DOMParser();
xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(xmlString, "text/xml");
// Get XML text
var serializer = new XMLSerializer();
text = serializer.serializeToString(xmlDoc);

Are you sure the parser is changing the element names?
(You didn't really mean "attributes", did you?) If it
is, then that's a bug in the parser. Element names in
XML are case-sensitive, i.e. they can be upper or
lower case or any mixture of cases. There aren't
supposed to be any "features" that let you fiddle with
the case of element names.
If you told me that you were using a Transformer to
produce HTML, and that it was outputting <TR>, I
wouldn't be surprised. Especially since XALAN is a
transformer and not a parser. I would just suggest in
that case that you should change your output method
from HTML to XML, and to output <tr>. A Transformer
won't change the case of element names if the output
method is XML, but it may if the output method is
HTML.Thanks for the response. Sorry about the vernacular mixup there.
Here is our situation:
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
parser.parse(InputSource is, HandlerBase hb) <-- noted that this is a deprecated method
This parse method here turns the html elements upper case.
I have experimented with setting the XMLReader on the parser as a HTMLSerializer and XHTMLSerializer with no luck in changing the outcome.
Hope this clears things up a bit more.
