Adam:
if you don't care about supporting a lot of charsets, you could probably
just use the XPath function translate(), see section 4.2 of the XPath
spec. Like in the following fragment:
...
<xsl:variable name="upper" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/>
<xsl:variable name="lower" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/>
<!-- outputs the parameter converted to uppercase: -->
<xsl:template name="toupper">
<xsl:param name="what"/>
<xsl:value-of select="translate($what, $lower, $upper)"/>
</xsl:template>
...
Of course, using a special extension function might be more elegant but
none is currently available in Sablotron.
