XHTML 1.0 PER update

As long as we are updating the PERs anyway... today someone cited 
section 4.2 of XHTML 1.0 in a way that leads me to believe it *could* be 
mis-interpreted.

Section 4.2 reads:


    4.2. Element and attribute names must be in lower case

XHTML documents must use lower case for all HTML element and attribute 
names. This difference is necessary because XML is case-sensitive e.g. 
<li> and <LI> are different tags.

This is in an informative section, but still..... it seems to say that 
XHTML requires all attributes and elements to be in lower case.  Clearly 
what we meant was that the elements and attributes from HTML 4 that we 
brought into XHTML 1 are now only in lower case.  Perhaps we should 
tighten this wording?
