Oh, I see. It's somewhat questionable if you ask me. Varying the syntax
_within a document_ is something different from the liberty of choosing
one's style. But I guess the reader is assumed to treat the examples as
quotations that reflect different styles (and style is consistent within
each example).
Still, I wouldn't do that. I don't think authors really need to be
reminded of the possibility of writing <Section> instead of the most
common way, <section>, and the next common one, <SECTION>. People who
have some special reason for writing, say,
<sEcTIon
claSs
= foo

should probably check the syntax definition details if in doubt, and
just go ahead (maybe using a validator) if not.
