Subject: another WebCGM spec glitch -- p.s.
I wrote: >[...]I suspect that viewer implementations rely on case-insensitive (and >if I were an viewer implementor, I would continue to be forgiving, >regardless of what the spec says). I didn't think this out very carefully. Maybe a viewer could have a special "case-insensitive" mode or option, for dealing with old legacy stuff or wrongly written stuff, but it would be dangerous to just ignore the rule. If the spec says case-insensitive, then sooner or later someone (content generator) is going to take that literally, even if everyone agrees that such constitutes bad practice. In fact, there should be a test in a future release of the test suite (a detailed, or drill-down test, not a basic test) which probes this very rule. ...my two cents... -Lofton.
