does it really matter? if so, WHY does it matter?
If you use compression on your web pages there evidentially can be
some benefit to using all same case tags so that they can be
compressed as common tokens. Google also recommends specifying tag
parameters and css rules in alphabetical order every time and using
consistent quoting. These can help ensure that tags with common
parameters can be efficiently compressed.

css rules in alphabetical order? hahahahaha. For machines maybe, but
certainly not for humans. I, for one, am keeping my border-radius and
-webkit-border-radius and -moz-border-radius together, dagnabbit!
As for uppercase/lowercase, I code in HTML4 and have always* seen
xhtml as insanity, and I prefer uppercase tags for same reason
mentioned earlier.
Well-formed HTML is preferable to badly-formed xhtml (of which there
is much on the Web; that's the real world for ya).
