# XHTML requires element names to be lowercase, not XML. In retrospect, # it would've made more sense for XHTML to require uppercase elements, as # this is how HTML parsers are supposed to normalize (and why Firebug, # etc. present the DOM using uppercase regardless of HTML/XHTML). This # would have led to lots less script breakage for us application/xhtml+xml # die-hards. So why can't 'application/xhtml5+xml' (i.e., some other MIME type) use uppercase elements?
