Good point Brian.

I thought I had specified this in hcard-parsing, but perhaps not.

The class names are case-sensitive per HTML4.01 (see "A Touch of Class" for
more on that).

The enumerated *values* are case-INsensitive, and thus yes, applications
should accept home, Home, HOME, HoMe, etc as 'home'.
