Re: [xsl] text-transform (capitalize every word)

[Chuck White <chuckwh at pacbell dot net>]

I'm curious where in the W3C collection of recommdendations text-transform
is said to be deprecated. The latest Working Draft for CSS3's text module
doesn't indicate this:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-text-20020515/#caps-prop

Nor does this appear in the XSL-FO v1 Rec, or in CSS2 that I can see.

Nevertheless, translate() is another way to go, especially if you can't find
a renderer. It's just that...text transform would be easier.

Cheers,
