A Syntax Question: Validating Meta Keys with Capital letters?

Dear folks, somewhere on the net I read a person advising:

" Validate your meta keys dude. Validating it would help (Mostly, make all letters CAPITAL and add / before the ending > "

What does that mean? does that mean 

<link rel="canonical" href="<?=$canonical?>">

should be 

<LINK REL="CANONICAL" HREF="<?=$canonical?>"/>

?? Thanks for clarification

Solution

  • I think he talked only about attribute names.. ie. 

    <LINK REL="canonical" HREF="<?=$canonical?>" />

    But case doesn't matter afaik. Ad. validation: He was probably talking about w3c html validator.
