Here is the spec http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec

There is nothing in the spec which talks about case sensitivity. It's  
an issue for the application. My experience is that member names are  
nearly always implemented as some sort of hash map. All the hash map  
implementations I have used are case sensitive.
