Well, in some circumstances, it would be quite useful to have a capital sharp s, e.g. when printing my last name in small caps. But it is debatable whether a capital sharp s is correct German. At the moment, it is only standardised in a technical sense. But if it will be common practice in the next years, it will maybe also make its way into the DUDEN, who knows... Regards, Dominik.-
