Selectors are case insensitive for HTML and case sensitive for XHTML.

Although I could not find a quick answer on the Web, I imagine that DHTML is
not case-sensitive. As always, it is safer and neater to stick to lowercase
as a matter of principle... likewise with filenames on a *NIX server. Some
browsers and crawlers are unaware of case-sensitivity.

Also things to consider are searches in source files such as
search-and-replace operations, element count, etc.
