Re: Capital or small caps

In our last episode, <4a340b10$0$10256$703f8584@xxxxxxxxxxx>, the lovely and
talented Samuel van Laere broadcast on alt.html:

Hello,

usually I write all my tags and attributes in small caps

This does not make sense. HTML is text. Text only comes in
lowercase and uppercase.

with the only exeption being the doctype.
Now someone is asking me if HTML allows tags and attributes to be written in
capital letters.

HTML tags and attributes are not case sensitive. XHTML requires lowercase.
So lowercase is good for HTML if there is any chance the documents will be
converted.

I do not know the answer to that.

Does anyone knows?

cheers,
Samuel
