What books are those? According to the W3 specs, class names are
case-sensitive. 

- CSS specifies that attribute-value selectors only match case-insensitive
  if the attribute value is case-insensitive. 'class' selectors are a
  special case of attribute-value selectors.

- The HTML spec declares the class attribute-value to be case-sensitive.
  (It's type is marked as cdata-list [CS], where the [CS} marker signifies
  case-sensitivity).

As far as these specs go, I consider the W3 to be authorative :)

Even if your books were right this would not be a CMF bug but a user agent
bug; your browser would be in the wrong; it does the matching, not the CMF.
