That leaves the question why mainframe designers actually chose uppercase instead of lowercase ;-) (Bad taste? That were the days of IBM, Apple did not yet exist...) Concerning HTML, I think people preferred uppercase tags in the beginning because there was no syntax-highlighting and uppercase letter were better sticking out. Some people still prefer uppercase tags for the same reasons. Probably those who use Notepad for writing HTML. Using uppercase also makes immediately clear from the first impression that this is not XHMTL, but it is not a big benefit. My suggestion is to make lowercase the default for the output methods 'html' and 'html-strict', and add two output methods 'HTML' and 'HTML-STRICT' which will use uppercase. BTW, you can already have lowercase with HTMLSerializer(transpose=str). -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
