Description
What is the issue with the HTML Standard?
TAG's Casing Rules state that enumerated values for attributes should be lowercase, dash-delimited.
closedby=closerequest is not dash-delimited. Admittedly this completely flew by me while implementing it in Firefox until just now, when we're imminently shipping.
Perhaps we can change this? Perhaps we can do so safely by keeping around the closerequest value but deprecating it? What are people's thoughts?

Research direction
Start with the HTML Standard's definition of the closedby attribute and the linked TAG Casing Rules. Determine whether closerequest should be replaced by close-request and whether the existing value needs a deprecation or compatibility path; the issue does not name a file or test, so completion depends on resolving that design question.
