Re: [xsl] Case conversion in XSL?

["cutlass" <cutlass at secure0 dot com>]

i agree completly that silly things are possible......and of course i am not
interested in that.

if one does a typical application that is developed in the 4 primary
european languages ( german, french, english, italian ) then there is a
clear concept.

maybe some of the Unicode expert lurkers here could comment, i would expect
Unicode to have some sort of awareness of uppercase and lowercase where its
appropriate.

the reason for suggesting this is not for myself,  i am talking about a
typical web designer who would use xslt as part of their primary markup
mechanism for display; they would expect this type of courtesy
functionality.
