it was though in xhtml, its no longer the case (no pun intended) in html5. at some part i think an attribute like value of id, class are case-sensitive

Jdub html is not case sensitive. DOCTYPE HTML or DOCTYPE html or doctype html is the same thing.

Html is not case sensitive but javascript is. We can write HTML as well as html also. DOCTYPE and doctype are sams in Html.

Element and attribute names are ASCII case-insensitive in HTML. (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics-other.html#case-sensitivity-of-selectors)
