But it also has this note, which is quite confusing: "Because
lowercase letters in the name are uppercased by the algorithm above,
the "HTML" letters are actually case-insensitive relative to the

During tokenization you store the lowercase ASCII characters as uppercase.
So you can do a case-sensitive comparison with "HTML" in the end ("HTML"
will also end up in the DOM or whatever model you use there).
In the markup it could be written as <!doctype html> which is what is
suggested there.
However, section 8.1.1 says:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#doctype
"""
In other words, <!DOCTYPE HTML>, case-insensitively.
"""
So I guess you're right.
Learned this when writing the implementation of it :-)
It remains that the tokenization stage is a bit confusing…
