The tags with capital letters are probably from paragraphs written long time ago
that have not been changed since then. Now the recommendation is to use
lowercase for the HTML tags and attributes.

Changing the old uppercase tags into the corresponding lowercase ones requires
time and care (e.g. use smart_change.pl to avoid translations appear as outdated
when they aren't), so I guess most of the times, we just wait until we need to
update some text in a page, and take that opportunity to update the tags too.
