Actually, the 1.0 spec doesnt mention anything about case.. it is only in
the 1.2 version that they talk about "case folding"..

The discussion the meaning of "match" in section 1.2 (Terminology) of the
1.0 specification says:
- "Two strings or names being compared must be identical."
- "No case folding is performed."
Attribute names are names, hence case is significant.

I have learnt from experience that Working with XML you will get whipped

You can say that again. It can be painful, but I think it's worth it in the
end, to get robust, predictable, portable systems.

Think how much less of an issue case would be if the FAT and NTFS
filesystems were case-sensitive. Users of MS operating systems would have a
habitual understanding that case matters. This is true for people, not just
computers: "NAPA," "Napa," and "napa" are three different things - an auto
parts chain, a California valley, and a type of cabbage or leather,
respectively.
