XHTML 1.0 Recommendation Section 4.2 - <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.2>
[[[
4.2. Element and attribute names must be in lower case
XHTML documents must use lower case for all HTML element and attribute
names. This difference is necessary because XML is case-sensitive e.g.
<li> and <LI> are different tags.
