Hi Folks,

Here is a common German surname:

Strau_

I used SAXON to convert the surname to uppercase:

upper-case('Strau_') returns STRAUSS

Notice that _ was converted to SS.

Assuming the processor is using Unicode later than 3.2 all processors should use the same (unicode defined) tables. The Xpath upper-case function does not depend on the locale or (directly) the processor, just on the version of Unicode supported.

the definition of upper-case notes:

> These functions may not always be linguistically appropriate ....
