In reading http://apachetoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2000-09-27-001-01-OP-CY-LF I came across the following guideline for writing Apache documentation: HTML tags should be lowercase wherever possible. In other words, 'Link' is preferred over 'Link'. This is because lowercase

It would be true if they used a fixed set of huffman codes for which lower case letters had shorter codes; this is reasonable if you're compressing large amounts of text, since most of it is lowercase. -- Mike Stay Programmer / Crypto guy AccessData Corp. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If your compression algorithm is tuned for normal ASCII text, then may be considered more frequent than for all combinations of values of , and thus pairs of uppercased letters may result in longer bit streams than pairs of lowercase letters or one uppercase letter followed by one lowercase let
