I care because it makes my tests ugly and a pain to type... I should
also note that this behavior is questioned every few weeks on the TG
list, because it's not behavior that people expect.

The only thing I see in the XHTML spec says that HTML 4 is case
insensitive, but that the DOM explicitly returns upper case.

I'd also argue that it's very easy to tell if you're using XHTML or
HTML from the DOCTYPE at the top of the page.

Certainly, one can change the behavior with one line of code, but I
think the default is not the best choice.
