I have always found it much easier to parse and read HTML when the tags are capitalized. ie <HTML <HEAD <TITLE> title </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> this is the body </BODY> </HTML> vs <html> <head> <title> title </title> </head> <body> this is the body </body> </html> in the first snippet it seems to me that the tags and that the text stand out as different sets of things. In the second snippet you have to work much harder to make the distinction between the tags and the content. I understand that xml is case sensitive (rather annoying from a language perspective, but that is another battle to fight), but I am wondering why the XHTML standard is forcing people to use lowercase for their hypertext markup tags. Why not force them to use uppercase? What is the justification or reasoning for lowercase tags? thanks msewReceived on Monday, 14 August 2000 10:48:02 GMT
