Pascal Sancho commented on FOP-2308:
------------------------------------
{quote}
by the same token text-transform="lowercase" should not lowercase an acronym,
right?
{quote}
Yes, that should. In orthotypography [1], there is a difference between
uppercase (french: Capitale) and Capitale (french: Majuscule).
In short: the former is related to style (layout), the latter is related to
content.
So, if the acronym is written with Capitales (french: Majuscules), those
letters should remain Capitales (french: Majuscules), and be not affected by
"lowercase (french: bas de case)".
But I don't know any keyboard that allow such subtle difference
