Re:  Got a slick XPath expression to convert NEW YORK t
I am not sure this is "slick" but I think its interesting:

fn:string-join(
  for $word in tokenize("NEW YORK")
  let $lower-codepoints := fn:string-to-codepoints(fn:lower-case($word))
  let $capitalised-codepoints := (fn:head($lower-codepoints) - 32,
fn:tail($lower-codepoints))
  return
    fn:codepoints-to-string($capitalised-codepoints)
, "_")

You could make it more succinct of course, but then I think it looses
its readability!
