I did notice that the conversion was happening like in HTML.

Thanks,

How could it "[break] older versions of SVG"?  There's no conflicts
created by the lowercasing, and what it really means is that attribute
and elements are case-folded into a canonical lowercase, like HTML
does.  You can still write your attributes in camelCase if you'd like;
it's not an error.
