This is definitely aging me, but I'm still disappointed that all caps didn't win. That style made it so much easier to visually parse tags when scanning through the HTML code. I admit that syntax highlighting has mostly done away with that benefit, and now that I'm used to the lower case I don't mind it anymore, but the uppercase always felt better to me. Even reading that example above it feels more natural. Style is a hard thing.

I agree, even with syntax highlighting it visually looks more appealing in caps.
