UPPER vs lower case

I have been writing html for some time now using UPPER CASE for the HTML
code. I do this because it makes it easier for me to find the code and edit
it when I need to. I have not so far experienced any problems with this.
However, someone told me the other day that it is incorrect to write html
code in upper case as in the future browsers will not read it and that I
must go back and edit my existing pages to lower case html code.

Is this true - can anyone shed some light on this issue.

Many thanks

Mike

Goggle for xhtml compliance.

Upper/lower is fine by HTML standards, but not allowed under
stricter xhtml standards... Future browsers will probably use
xhtml, so using lowercase only makes some sense even now.

I wouldn't get too stressed yet though...

Upper case is find in HTML, but lower case is required in XHTML and a
decent
text editor will syntax highlight your code making it easy to find
anything.

I still think caps are easier to see than colour. I have learned the "small
case" way though.
