when i wrote

in my reply to the matter i was thinking of css in general(elements &
attributes) and not font names in particular (though the latter was asked,
now that i reread it).

but does this mean that any case sensitive os will not recognize font
families in lower case?
since i switched to xhtml i use lower case in my stylesheets throughout (i'm
lazy - i would have thought twice about uris, but i never use capitals in
uris myself).
well, i take it for granted that it is safer to use capitals then, but does
anyone know a good resource on that matter?
