css2.1 question

Hi,

I don't know whether this is the correct list for this question, so
please forgive me if it isn't.

My question concerns the CSS2.1 Candidate Recommendation
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/) and specifically Conventions
(http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#q4).

Why does it say "Document language element names are in uppercase
letters." ?

Surely for XHTML the document language element names /must/ be in
lowercase.  Elsewhere in the document, lowercase is used for both HTML
and XHTML (e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/intro.html#q1)  In the
section on case (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#q6), it says
"Note in particular that element names are case-insensitive in HTML, but
case-sensitive in XML."

This suggests to me that the Conventions section is misleading and
should be changed, especially because XHTML and SVG use lowercase
element names.  Do you agree?

Rick
