meta tags case sensitive?

[Barbara White]

Are meta tags case sensitive or does case sensitivity vary depending on
the search engine a user is using?

I'm wondering whether there's a standard regarding case (and other
rules) in meta tags (meta data in general). I couldn't find anything
definitive, but I could just be mis-searching. (Maybe I searched using
the wrong case. :-)

Thanks for any information.

Yes, it would depend on the search engine. You can ignore meta-keywords
for Google. The meta-description is naturally case-sensitive in its
display on the SERP.

I apologize for the duplicate post. (I have drafted this post a few
different times for both newsgroups and email; I forgot that I posted
here once before.)

No, no plans to make the post every week.
