O.K., explanation is fine as far as software develpoer is
concerned. For such arrangement there may be some big issues
involved. But if we see from user's perspective it is highly
confusing. As all typist (who used to type on mechanical
typewriter) and computer users, like us, who understand that
caps lock is there to reverse shift and without shift
behaviour.  When caps lock is on, it is expected that
normally it should print uppercase and with shift it should
print lowercase.  The same behaviour is there in text mode
of Linux ( and in other OS also )
