A silly question, is the destination address in a UI frame

From the AX.25 2.2 spec, section 2.2.13, Address-Field Encoding:
"Except for the Secondary Station Identifier (SSID), the address field
should be made up of /upper-case alpha/ and numeric ASCII characters only."
(Emphasis mine.)
Yes, I had read the spec. My question was one of, does the software
enforce that. Thomas Karpiniec's email pretty much said, "yes", in the
Linux AX.25 stack's case, it feeds it all through `toupper`, which
basically will clear that extra bit (0x61 becomes 0x41).
