What about SRC and HREF attributes? Are you saying that >my entire directory structure now needs to be in lower case? No. this applies to attribute values that are case insensitive in SGML DTD, and not to those those that are case sensitive. In SGMLish HTML you can have Align="Center" but in XHTML it must be align="center" URIs are case sensitive, so is the alt attribute of <img> etc. and they may have mixed case. BUT they also have different meaning when they differ only by case. > >Recently Daniel Austin mentioned, quite strenuously, that very element now >must have every attribute available to it declared within it.
