In a word: validation. Using the XHTML doctype *requires* all elements and attributes to be in
lowercase (along with a couple of other rules that differs from HTML 3.2, for example).

I don't think this is necessarily a "bad" thing, depending on your page's doctype. Although, at
some point, you may want to upgrade or modernize your CMS so that it produces lowercase tags and, if
it doesn't already, a valid doctype.
