XSL is great for transforming an XML file. The following XSL can be used to convert all element names into lower case.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:variable
       name="lcase">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</xsl:variable>
    <xsl:variable
       name="ucase">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</xsl:variable>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:element name="{translate(local-name(),$ucase,$lcase)}">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
