Yes, case is important.

| MINE: <head>
| YOUR COMMENT: Error: element "HEAD" undefined
| I have never seen a head defined as anything other than <head> or <HEAD>.
| Why is this an error?

If your DOCTYPE is wrong the validator cant do his job properly.

| MINE: <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
| YOUR COMMENT: Error: there is no attribute "LANGUAGE"
| Is JavaScript not the language attribute? By the way it also indicated that
| script was undefined? Does not LANGUAGE="JavaScript" not define the script?

This only occurs (if your DOCTYPE were correct) when using HTML 4 Strict.
