      It appears that the name of a parameter to an applet (as in <PARAM
      NAME=foo value=bar>) must be lower case in order for getParameter() to
      pick up its value.

      Assume a document containing

       <APPLET ...><PARAM NAME=startup VALUE="a bunch of text"></APPLET>

      We run it through the AppletViewer. In the applet's init() method,
      getParameter("STARTUP") and getParameter("startup") both return "a
      bunch of text".

      But if the document contains

       <APPLET ...><PARAM NAME=STARTUP VALUE="a bunch of text"></APPLET>

      then both getParameter("STARTUP") and getParameter("startup") return null.

      Is this a problem with the DTD, or should it be documented to work this way?
