    Subject: Error in validator?
    
    Greetings all,
    
       I've only just subscribed, but I did search the archives before 
    posting-- so my profound apologies if this has been discussed in the 
    past, and I failed to turn up the evidence.
       Anyway, a teammate has uncovered what we're pretty sure is a bug in 
    validator centered on the case of ID names.  I've created a simple test 
    page:
    
       <URL:http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tests/val-casetest.html>
    
    According to HTML 4.01, section 7.5.2, HTML ID (as well as class) names 
    are case-sensitive, so this page shouldn't have triggered any errors. 
     Or have I misunderstood some subtle interaction between specifications? 
     It wouldn't be the first time...
