According to the standard X3D is case-sensitive<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>
