DESCRIPTION

       This is just a subclass of HTML::Element.  It works basically the same as HTML::Element,
       except that tagnames and attribute names aren't forced to lowercase, as they are in
       HTML::Element.

       HTML::Element describes everything you can do with this class.

CAVEATS

       Has currently no handling of namespaces.
