Re: [xsl] Capitalizing content of a variable

Michael,

lets take another view at the problem:
The Java JDK implementators did a great job to handle locale specific text.
If I have the possibility to use this (via an extension) then I wouldn't 
hesitate to use it and not invent the wheel a second time. But agreed this 
doesn't help anyone who cannot use java or xsl extensions.

Cheers,
Johannes
