Couldn't find the position in the doceumentation (of mp4h(1) and
wml(1)), where this is mentioned. But I found this in mp4h(1): "As
with HTML, macro names are case insensitive." In HTML attribute names
are case insensitive, too. (Exception: XHTML, but in XHTML, there are
no upper case tags or attribute names at all, IIRC.)

And my uppercase test example knows nothing about case sensitivity:

Input:
1| <define-tag foo whitespace=delete>
2|   <preserve foo FOO>
3|   <set-var %attributes>
4| foo=<get-var foo>
5| FOO=<get-var FOO>
6|   <restore foo FOO>
7| </define-tag>
8|
9| <foo foo=bar FOO=baz>

Output:
1| foo=baz
2| FOO=baz

And BTW: Why should there be a difference between <protect pass=2> and
<PROTECT PASS=2>?
