Why not capitalized?

Hey I just noticed that in all of Nick's HTML Deep Dives he never capitlizes the <!DOCTYPE HTML>

In his videos! Just wondering why, and if or if not this is super important :P

Thanks!

Tags in HTML aren't case-sensitive, so you can type it however you want... Standard convention these days seems to be to use lowercase, but like any coding convention it's really going to depend on what project you're working on and who you're working on it with :)
