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

Theoretically. But given the vocabulary of HTML tags, what's the chance
of matching something other than thems

If the page
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.

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
