RE: Voyager /HTML element & attribute names should be UPPER-CASE.

I believe HTML elements should definitly be in UPPER CASE. That allows one
to locate them quickly to make changes, etc.. The following as stated by
Robert Bryan is important: 
"Tradition suggests that all HTML element and attribute names should be in
 upper case."
