Agreed. Right now its the JVM's default locale which is not ideal. > They may give different results on different systems with the same > string. No means of choosing the locale is provided.

Thanks for the heads up Elliotte. I'll try figure out how to implement that later this week. Incidentally to be more consistent with XSLT 2 I've renamed the functions to upper-case() and lower-case(). Another idea could be to allow a second parameter to be specified with the Locale to be used to convert the strings. e.g. upper-case( /foo/bar, $myLocale ) Then folks could put the locale to use in the VariableContext before evaluating XPath expressions.
