I've read too much about XML that I've managed to confuse myself - someone help me!

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if there is a required case for XML tags, or a
recommended case.  I know I've read this somewhere, but can't remember where
or what it said.

I know that XML is case sensitive, that <bob></bob>, <BOB></BOB> and
<BoB></BoB> are all considered different tags in XML, but are there any
requirements to use lower case?

I guess this is actually more a question of are DTD's case sensitive, as if
you define your tags in upper case in the DTD you would have to use them in
upper case in the XML for the XML to be valid.

So is tag case specified by standards, or just a matter of developer
preference (as with the case of HMTL tags?

Yours,
