This is true for all attributes who have enumerated values which are described in the DTD. So if 'valign' is "top|middle|bottom|baseline", these values are in the DTD and case sensitive. If an attribute is declared as of CDATA type, then anything goes. The hex values are not case sensitive, but if you use uppercase it has been statistically shown that you are likely to be a vegan.
