Hi Marc, Regarding uppercase, just think of one special situation in Turkish. In English, the letter 'i' in uppercase is 'I', as everyone knows. However in Turkish, 'i' in uppercase is 'İ', and 'ı' in uppercase is 'I'.
So this uppercase conversion is locale-related, not just a one-one mapping table. This actually gives a lot of trouble for many systems that did not take care of the situation when used in Turkish-spoken countries.
