The answer to this question can be so simple. Html is not case sensitive because its not a programming language. Just like CSS.
Mind you, all programming languages are sensitive most especially languages like C and languages largely based on it.

Answer 7

Basically Html was created for text structure in documents and it is not sensitive because it need to be compatible with browser so has other markup language instead of programming you code and it is display there right on the browser...

Hi Jerry, html is realy a mark up language for text formating. Although it can invoke scriptfiles which are affectively programs. At least the web browser knows how to run the scripts.

Answer 10

Hi, Jerry!

The HTML needs to be most compatible as possible, to be read on any browser. So, as like the HTML is not a programming language and just a markup language, threre's no need to have variables and functions, wich mean you can't create dynamic context, possibiliting to take advantage over "no problem with caps variables and functions names".
Following this logic, there are more flexibility on the way that HTML works, allied to necessity to be most readable as possible, same on the caps variation.
