You can force comparison without regard to case using the translate()
function: translate('Xsl','XSL','xsl'), for example, maps all uppercase
X, S and L's in 'Xsl' to lowercase ones.

You can probably use this fact to solve your problem, but without
knowing which processor or any of the specifics of how you are trying to
go about it, it's difficult to say more.

Incidentally, on the subject of translate, I had a nano-epiphany a few
days ago while bemoaning the lack of a function which detected whether
any of the characters in a string occurred in another string.  As often
with XSL, a few moments thinking brought the realization that there is a
way to do it:

   <xsl:if test=". = translate(., '.,:;','')>
