Folks,

Neither ISO/IEC 8859-1 (the Latin-1 standard) nor ISO/IEC 10646-1 (the
multi-byte character standard) explicitly give a mapping between upper and
lower case letters. However, 10646 does imply a mapping, by virtue of the
words "capital" and "small" in forming the names for characters.

10646 is based on the Unicode standard (www.unicode.org), which explicitly
defines case properties and case mapping for characters.

However, I think the most straightforward thing to do would be to explicitly
define the case correspondence in 1076.

End $0.02.

Cheers,

PA
