XHTML is currently a Proposed Recommendation, which means it's in the process of being voted on by the W3C Advisory Committee (AC)-- a body of one representative for each W3C-member company. That vote is forwarded to Tim Berners-Lee, who then makes the final decision on whether it will become a full Recommendation. There is currently some controversy around the XHTML PR, but it's not anything to do with case (it's about the choice of three namespaces). If it does not go to Rec. this time, the only major changes I can forsee are in the namespace area. So in otherwords, the "all lower case" is highly unlikely to change.
