Case-sensitive doctype-tag?

Hi all,

a syntactically correct document with

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

validates just like the same document with

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

The Validator outputs "This Page Is Valid HTML 4.01
Transitional!" for both.

However, a syntactically correct document with

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

gets "This Page Is Valid HTML 4.01 Strict!" while the
very same document with

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

instead of the above doctype gets only "This Page Is
Valid!"

Is this intentional? I think it shouldn't matter as
HTML (as opposed to XHTML) is case-insensitive. Or did
I miss something?
