ASCII uppercase/lowercase mapping is straightforward and unambiguous, and can be done one character at a time with NO lexical analysis (at least for 99% of all languages that use it; Turkish and Azeri do have exceptions). TC/SC is NOT one-to-one for all characters. It is for many, but nowhere near 99% or 95%. If you implement any sort of TC/SC mapping you MUST figure out how to handle the many-to-one and one-to-many cases, and this is where we have all been balking. Users will not understand or accept that "only some" of the TC and SC characters are mapped to each other. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
