He probably refers to this:

Element names are written in uppercase letters (e.g., BODY). Attribute
names are written in lowercase letters (e.g., lang, onsubmit). Recall
that in HTML, element and attribute names are case-insensitive; the
convention is meant to encourage readability.

The two important things to note about it are:

(1) It explicitly says that element and attribute names ARE case-insensitive

and

(2) It comes from the section that describes the conventions used in the
documentation for the spec, not implementations of the spec.
