In the past people were taught to use all upper case letters for HTML

Ewww. I guess I'm glad that we're making this kind of thing case
sensitive (note that it makes *parsing* significantly easier), but
it kind of sucks to change a standard on people like that. Oh well.
I don't know if upper case markup was a standard. The big letters made
the markup stand out from regular text. Maybe people made upper case a
convention due to the lack of a standard. The "tidy" program will
happily change case for anyone who cares to do it.
