Dan, you can use the translate function. Here are some examples...
<xsl:template name="compare-no-case">
<xsl:param name="str1"/>
<xsl:param name="str2"/>
<!-- return value -->
<xsl:value-of select="boolean(
translate($str1,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
=
translate($str2,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')
)"/>
</xsl:template> <!-- compare-no-case -->
<xsl:template name="lowercase">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<!-- <xsl:message terminate="no"><xsl:value-of select="$text"/>:<xsl:value-of
select="translate($text,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')"/></xsl:message>
-->
<!-- return value -->
<xsl:text></xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="translate($text
,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
)"/><xsl:text></xsl:text>
</xsl:template> <!-- lowercase -->
<xsl:template name="uppercase">
<xsl:param name="text"/>
<!-- return value -->
<xsl:text></xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="translate($text
,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
)"/><xsl:text></xsl:text>
</xsl:template> <!-- uppercase -->

|Hi Joe,
|I'm not sure what you mean by folding the values?

|then apply my existing stylesheet to the intermediate xml doc. A bit
|extreme but I've got to meet a deadline for this.

|Thanks,

|Classic solution would be to fold the values to a single case before
|comparing them. I'm having trouble accessing the spec right now, but
|there's probably something in the XSLT function library which would
|accomplish this...
