Yes, XML is case-sensitive. The XML declaration (what you call the
"<?XML... tag") must appear as:
<?xml...
and the document type declaration as:
<!DOCTYPE...
When you get into coding real tags, <THISTAG> identifies a completely
different element than <ThisTag>, <thisTag>, etc. Attribute names are also
case-sensitive. And so is everything else. :)
