Isn't SVG based on XML? Which means SVG is probably case sensitive!

I found some info here, not sure if that'll help clarify anything.

PS!
This is why I always make it a rule to type lowercase for anything that 
will possibly be machine read (file names, properties/attributes), it 
also compresses better (lower case letters are more frequent).
