XML 1.0 §4.3.3 says:

<quote>
   Note that these registered names are defined to be case-
   insensitive, so processors wishing to match against them should do
   so in a case-insensitive way.

Depends on where it occurs.  At the start of a document, yes, but in a
TextDeclaration ([77]) at the top of a parsed entity, the version
parameter is optional.
