XML is, in general, case-sensitive.
See the excellent comments in the Annotated spec on this topic (excerpted here):
http://www.xml.com/axml/notes/CaseSensitive.html
The whole annotated spec (which I encourage everybody to read) is at:
http://www.xml.com/axml/axml.html
In the DOM spec, check out the section 1.1.6 on "Case sensitivity in the DOM":
