All parts of the tag must be lowercase.  This was not required in plain HTML.

Quotes must enclose all attribute values.  In plain HTML this was usually not necessary except if the value was textual in nature.

Tags that did not normally have a corresponding closing tag, must now be specially formatted with a closing space and slash.
