  yes, XML names are case sensitive.

  Strange, the HTML parser take care of this to convert all names in
markup to lowercase, and the XHTML specification forced this conversion
for the XML versions of HTML.

  Definitely ...
   If you are using the XML parser you must use lowercase.
   If you are using the HTML parser this is done automatically
 You should just take care to use lowercase when modifying an already
parsed tree.
