This rule says that the name XML in any combination of upper-or-lower case
is forbidden. There's a rule elsewhere that says names starting with "xml"
are reserved for future standardization. Some parsers will give you a
warning if you use such names; and your application may break if W3C decides
to attach a special meaning to the name you have chosen for yourself. Since
there's an infinity of names that don't begin with "xml", it costs you
nothing to avoid this risk.
