The case-sensitivity of the for attribute IS a validation issue in
XHTML 1.0 Strict & Transitional, XHTML 1.1, and HTML5.
The case-sensitivity of the for attribute IS NOT a validation issue in
HTML 4.01 Strict & Transitional.
The case-sensitivity of the for attribute IS an accessibility issue
irregardless of doctype.
More information can be found regarding the label element in HTML4 at
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.9
and the differences between HTML4 and XHTML regarding case-sensitivity
of attribute values at http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.11
