In a DTD, no. The case sensitivity rules are set in the SGML declaration (in the naming rules), and I don't think there's a way to tell the W3C validator use something different from the reference concrete syntax, which has NAMECASE GENERAL YES, thereby making all names case insensitive. And if you could change this, it would affect _all_ names. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
