Not so much a discussion, as a factoid, but it's <doctype !html> not <!DOCTYPE html>, in the latest version of HTML (HTML5) also worth bearing in mind is that even for xhtml lowercase tag names were the norm, thoughts?

Treehouse TeacherJust wanted to follow up: This issue has been fixed in the code challenge. It's now case insensitive.

74,902 PointsOkay, so why does the tutorial force to be answered as <!DOCTYPE html> is my point, it's just being case sensitive for no point, even google use lowercase
Tom Bedford
15,645 PointsThe Treehouse site actually has it it in lowercase too. I can't speak for the challenge logic, I imagine it's just an oversight.
Nick Pettit
Treehouse TeacherThat's really strange; in fact, I'm surprised we're doing any kind of case-sensitive checking. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll make sure it gets fixed!
