Re: Case conversion in XSL?

this is actually a serious point, and its a major pain,

whats the implication of adding an uppercase/lowercase function to XSLT ?
this is yet another example of stuff one doesnt want to do within XSL
templates.

maybe adding a 'case' attribute to xsl:text----->     ala <xsl:text
case=""></xsl:text>

since core XSLT deals with manipulating data, most of textual in content, i
would expect this to be a native function, though i can hear our kind
implementators moaning.
