You will have to do downcase ala this (untested).. perhaps more downcasing
is necessary ?


require 'cgi'
class CGI 
module TagMaker 
    def nn_element_def(element)
      <<-END.gsub(/element\.downcase/n, element.downcase).gsub(/element\.upcase/n, element.upcase)
          "<element.downcase" + attributes.collect{|name, value|
            next unless value
            " " + CGI::escapeHTML(name.downcase) +
            if true == value
              ""
            else
              '="' + CGI::escapeHTML(value) + '"'
            end
          }.to_s + ">" +
          if block_given?
            yield.to_s
          else
            ""
          end +
          "</element.downcase>"
      END
    end  
end # module TagMaker 
end # class CGI
