RE: [xsl] case-sensitivity in xml

---

---

As far as the XPath/XSL specs are concerned, a collation is just a URI, and
the way in which collations are defined is up to the vendor. The
saxon:collation element was my first attempt, the structured URI format

http://saxon.sf.net/collation?lang=en;strength=primary

was my second. At present, both are supported. If you really want to define
your own collating algorithm in Java the structured URI still allows this,
the URI can include a parameter class=the.class.name to reference the Java
code. But most of the time, I expect people will be happy to pick up a
collation for a given language and strength from the underlying Java VM.
