ISSUE-24: Should all terms be case-sensitive in HTML5 and XHTML?

Case-sensitive terms in HTML5

Should all terms be case-sensitive in HTML5 and XHTML?

State:

CLOSED

Product:

RDFa 1.1 Core

Raised by:

Shane McCarron

Opened on:

2010-05-13

Description:

All RDFa 1.1 Processors force any prefix specified via xmlns: and @prefix to lowercase. Since comparison of terms in @rel and @rev in HTML5 are case-insensitive, should RDFa Processors force these terms to lower-case as well to ensure HTML5 and XHTML compatibility?
