I don't see any need for it to be case-sensitive for XHTML5. :-)

Since ID is case sensitive everywhere else, I don't see a reason to
make an exception from that rule here.
For compat with IE?
That seems to unnecessarily complicate implementation as well as
introduce weird inconsistencies for authors.
It already is (Unicode-) case-insensitive in IE and Opera. Do you
suggest we should not match what IE does here? Or do you suggest we have
different behavior between HTML and XHTML?
Given that behavior is so different in different UAs, it seems unlikely
that a lot of sites depend on IEs behavior. So I suggest not matching
what IE does.
