Why do you say its transitional? Our app validates as strict and Michel had integrated quite a few changes to make it happen. Why could we not separate the two and do the best we can to assist those who care about web standards.

Got that sucker.

It is. So attribute names are case-sensitive. But keep in mind that
Seaside uses html-compatible xhtml, which is an undocumented hack that
builds upon several undocumented hacks. As far as browsers are
concerned seaside produces html 4 transitional.

They have both the very same ruleset:
attribute names are case-sensitive
Only in html are attribute names case insensitive.
