Capitalization and case of html tags?

Bruce W.1

Looking at the html produced by Visual Studio I see a mixed bag of tag
capitalization. For example there's <HEAD> and <body>. Then there's
<form and <TABLE>. Is there some logic behind the mixed casing?

Is there a right way and a wrong way? I believe that the W3C recommends
lower casing.

Thanks for your help.

HTML is case-insensitive.

This is true. However XHTML IS case sensitive, and this is what we
should all be using, right?

For now it doesn't really matter.

If you really want to standardize, I would go for lower casing. In
particular XHTML is case sensitive and uses lower case...

We should all be making informed decisions based upon a working knowledge of
the technologies available, not trying to reach a concensus as to what
technology is right or wrong.
