Macromedia CodeSweeper pane:
You can also change the case of tags on demand for the current document, by
selecting Edit > Convert Tag Case. This operation cannot be undone.
Macromedia CodeSweepers can process XML namespaces in tags—for example,
<xsl:thistag name="foo"/>—because they allow the use of the colon character (:)
in tag names.

• Preserve Case: Ignores the case of names.
• All Upper Case: Forces every name to uppercase.
