Lowercase is not just more compatible with xhtml but is required by xhtml.
The reason xhtml is important is that it is (a) the set of xml dtds for html
and (b) the next version of html (effectively html 5). New browser
development will focus more and more on xml and not html. Netscape6/Mozilla
is a good example of this. Html is fault tolerant and does not care about
case and several html tags are being deprecated. Xhtml is strict and
requires lowercase for html (xml allows uppercase in tags but is case
sensitive... ie <IMG> is not <Img> and neither is considered the html tag
<img>) and is the emerging standard. Common sense and good design practice
would encourage the use of xhtml (or xhtml friendly html) in all new code.
So if you like uppercase and do not plan on reusing the code you write today
in the future and like seeing new browsers (such as N6) mangle your site, go
ahead and use uppercase.
