Further investigation of the matter lead to the following:

  * Retrieve a html flavor from clipboard: string containing source  
code fixed to be well formed and contains _lower_ case tag names only  
(original source has both upper and lower case tag names)
  * createContextualFragment(str): serializer outputs upper case tag  
names only, attribute names are preserved
  * transformation: lower case element selectors match, upper case  
selectors don't. xsl:copy-of yields to _upper_ case result fragment!!
