Well you could write

> match="section[ parameter/@name='Rule' ][ parameter/value/upper-case(@entry)
= 'INPUT' ]"

But the "correct" way to do case-insensitive matching is to use a collation:

> match="section[ parameter/@name='Rule' ][ parameter/value@entry = 'INPUT'
]"
> default-collation="http://www.w3.org/2013/collation/UCA?strength=2"

It depends a bit about whether you care what happens to characters like
"dotless i" (which probably aren't going to appear in your input unless you
are Turkish).
