Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/book.xml
---

When using xml_parse_into_struct(), the [tag] value of each array is in all caps, 
when XML is meant to be case sensitive, as noted here:
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_syntax.asp

Therefore, tags should be the same in PHP as they are in the XML.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

XML_Parse_Into_Struct(XML_Parser_Create(), File_Get_Contents('XML/Home.xml'), $XML);


Print_R($XML);

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [tag] => Trezu
            [type] => open
            [level] => 1
            [value] => 
	
        )
 
    [1] => Array
        (
            [tag] => Title
            [type] => complete
            [level] => 2
            [value] => Trezu
        )
 
    [2] => Array
        (
            [tag] => Trezu
            [value] => 
	
            [type] => cdata
            [level] => 1
        )
 
    [3] => Array
        (
            [tag] => Content
            [type] => complete
            [level] => 2
            [value] => 
				*content here* 
	
        )
 
    [4] => Array
        (
            [tag] => Trezu
            [value] => 
 
            [type] => cdata
            [level] => 1
        )
 
    [5] => Array
        (
            [tag] => Trezu
            [type] => close
            [level] => 1
        )
 
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [tag] => TREZU
            [type] => open
            [level] => 1
            [value] => 
	
        )
 
    [1] => Array
        (
            [tag] => TITLE
            [type] => complete
            [level] => 2
            [value] => Trezu
        )
 
    [2] => Array
        (
            [tag] => TREZU
            [value] => 
	
            [type] => cdata
            [level] => 1
        )
 
    [3] => Array
        (
            [tag] => CONTENT
            [type] => complete
            [level] => 2
            [value] => 
				*content here* 
	
        )
 
    [4] => Array
        (
            [tag] => TREZU
            [value] => 
 
            [type] => cdata
            [level] => 1
        )
 
    [5] => Array
        (
            [tag] => TREZU
            [type] => close
            [level] => 1
        )
