Only arround 48000.
The filter should check, whether the inputstring is ONLY CAPITAL
LETTERS or ONLY SMALL LETTERS and then it should act.
I do this too with some input fields (no big text fields) since
$USER are baindamaged in relation to the right capitalization.
Oh, if someone type a name NOT in the database, my system inform
me with an E-Mail. So I can update the list.
Please note, that I have one list per country which is sometimes
redunant but reduce errors...
