It's done that way elsewhere in the same page, so committed.

Overall, there is some ambiguity about this.  Most places follow your
proposed style if <literal>READ COMMITTED</literal>,
<literal>REPEATABLE READ</literal>, and
<literal>SERIALIZABLE</literal>, but mvcc.sgml, which discusses
isolation levels extensively, just writes them as Read Committed,
Repeatable Read, and Serializable.

I'm not sure whether more consistency overall would be a good thing -
there are some things to recommend the current mix of styles - but
mixing styles within a page doesn't seem smart, so this much at least
seems uncontroversial.
