I came across the following guideline for writing Apache documentation:
HTML tags should be lowercase wherever possible. In other
words, '<a href="foo.html">Link</a>' is preferred over
'<A HREF="foo.html">Link</A>'. This is because lowercase
letters result in more efficient space savings when documents
are compressed.
I'm trying to figure out how this could be true.
