Names of HTML (or should I say SGML in general?) entities are indeed 
case sensitive, and in case of accented character entities the
difference is really significant as for example &auml; stands for 'ä',
while &Auml; is the same alphabet in capital form, 'Ä'.

If you see such misspelled entities like the &QUOTE; (should be:
&quot; (except in HTML 3.2 where that entity was left out because of
mistake, you still could use &#34; instead)), I suggest to politely
complain about that to the author of document in question.
