It's somewhat questionable if you ask me. Varying the syntax _within a document_ is something different from the liberty of choosing one's style. But I guess the reader is assumed to treat the examples as quotations that reflect different styles (and style is consistent within each example). Still, I wouldn't do that. I don't think authors really need to be reminded of the possibility of writing <Section> instead of the most common way, <section>, and the next common one, <SECTION>. People who have some special reason for writing, say, <sEcTIon claSs = foo > should probably check the syntax definition details if in doubt, and just go ahead (maybe using a validator) if not. Yucca
