It seems that both and are valid, and both of them are used quite often throughout the whole articles/ and books/ directories. According to "DocBook: The Definitive Guide", in SGML DocBook all element and attribute names are case-insensitive, so it's okay to keep them that way. However, Norman Walsch does warn that lowercase names should be used for XML DocBook. I'm not sure what the FreeBSD Documentation Project's stance is on XML compatibility and on eventually moving to XML DocBook; if this is the goal, then at some point we should do a search-and-replace over most of the project's documents, since there are quite a few URL=3D".." attributes all over the place. What do people think about that?
