Why does the .tagName DOM property return an uppercase value?

For example, if we have 

<html>
    <head>
        <title>FooBar</title>
    </head>
    <body></body>
</html>

If we do document.getElementByTagName("title").TagName, then we will have TITLE (uppercase). While the html standards recommends writing html tags in lowercase.

I know there is no relationship between both, but this still doesn't make sense.

Is there any reason that DOM should return tag names in uppercase?
