Tags in upper case actually break xhtml compliance -- Newer versions of MS Visual Studio, Expression Web, etc. default to putting tags in lower case and provide a compile warning if tags are in upper case. Older versions of Visual Studio (and tools like Visual Interdev) used MSHTML and would convert tags to upper-case, and also add <tbody> to tables, and other things like that which might cause the appearance of the document to change.

Often people will do like wordmuse is, and run the output of MSHTML through HTML Tidy, run a regex on it, or something else of that nature to get lower case tags. Some editors that use MSHTML will also wrap HTML Tidy for compliant output.
