Like I'd actually touch a WYSIWYG tool with a 10-foot barge pole :-). Of
course they have limitations (bugs) - and VIntDev is no exception. I use it
exclusively in "Source" modem.

So what you really need is an editor that, on loading, converts all tags /
attributes / etc. to upper-case, but when saving writes them all back as
lower case. That keeps you - and the standard - happy.
