Yes - but as it doesn't involve XSLT it's a bit off topic for this list.
You could do it in XSLT as a two-pass transform in the same stylesheet:
perform an identity transform in a top-level variable that converts
attribute values and text nodes to uppercase, and then in your root
matching template apply-tempaltes on that variable.

If you really want to do it at the SAX level, I would recommend looking
up SAXTransformerFactory first and work from there. Basically you want
to write an XMLFilter and chain it between an XMLReader and a
TransformerHandler.
