        I'm fine mate. And yourself ?

        Good idea. I'll change the code and submit a new patch.

        BTW - while we're talking about it, the original syntax I wanted
        to implement was something like this:

        <i18n:format type="upper">text</i18n:format>
        <i18n:format type="lower">text</i18n:format>

        or

        <i18n:toupper>text</i18n:toupper>
        <i18n:tolower>text</i18n:tolower>
        
        Basically using surrounding tags rather than an attribute.

        That way we wouldn't be restricted to converting case of just
        translated text, but could upper/lower case any text given as
        input.

        The state model of I18nTransformer proved to be a bit difficult
        to change though to add this new tag, hence the format="upper"
        attribute.

        Your knowledge about I18nTransformer is definitely better than
        mine - What do you think ? Is it easier to implement than I
        originally thought ?

        Cheers,

        Marcus
