Yeah, maybe. But we could define it as some kind of token feature. As far
as I know we do not have any markup languages which use compatibility
caseless tokens. And hopefully we are not going to introduce any either.
Alternatively you could have something like input:type(password) I
suppose. Would work slightly better for unknown controls that fallback to
text, too.
Or even more alternatively we could decide not to care about this being
difficult to select since in practice people will use lowercase values.
