<div>Hello Leonard,<br>
<br>
</div>
thanks for the quick clarification. General case sensitivity
makes more sense. Is there a sense of how case sensitivity was
favoured over case insensitivity originally, probably when
VRML was designed ?<br>

Yes. It was done as camel case. Nodes started with a capital letter
and fields with lower case. Reserved words were all caps (e.g.,
PROTO, IS, DEF, USE). This pattern was continued to the XML
description. If you (or the application you are using) uses the DTD
or Schema, then case is enforced for the XML encoding.<br>

According to the standard X3D is case-sensitive<br>
XML:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19776-1/V3.3/Part01/concepts.html#XMLEncoding</a><br>
(9th paragraph)<br>
VRML:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

(6th paragraph)<br>
Compressed Binary: Use XML as an intermediate step
so those rules apply.<br>
<br>
That does not mean that browser hard-enforce that
requirement.<br>
<br>
The X3DOM browser is not case sensitive because
HTML tags are not (in<br>
HTML5), though there is a very strong preference
for lower case (even in<br>
compound words - e.g., onclick).<br>
<br>
In the non-HTML environment, case sensitivity
should apply to nodes,<br>
fields, and keywords (e.g., DEF, USE, IS, etc.)<br>
