Replying to lukeplant:
Hmm, w3c docs says it is case insensitive: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#adef-method
But the w3c validator does indeed complain at upper case.
My mistake if this is not legitimate. I suppose it is a bug in the validator rather than the django docs.

It's doctype-dependent:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.2
Lower case is more broadly acceptable so should probably be used in the docs.

That's about attribute names, not values. But:

Agreed, I'll fix it.
