define two variables:

<xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABC..XYZ'"/>
<xsl:variable name="lowercase" select="'abc..zyz'"/>

(but write out the whole alphabet)

then use:

<xsl:value-of select="concat(translate(substring(., 1, 1), $lowercase,
$uppercase), substring(.,2))"/>

If your target output is HTML then there's a CSS instruction that can do it.
