I'm afraid I'm one of those people who will be forgotten by history because after doing a thing, I lose interest and never put it on the web.
In any case, the routine you are speaking of is a pretty straightforward table-driven mapping, perhaps somewhat innovative in its time but now hardly impressive.
All you need is a list of the case-correct names, and to rip through the document mapping case-folded names into corrected names.
Of course, it won't work if your case-folding has thrown information away, such as the difference between "UPPERCASE" and "uppercase".

The main problem I had with SX was that its method of normalizing names was to uppercase all of them, regardless of the case in which the name was given when declared. Since I was unable to put up with the resulting ugliness, I had to devise and run another processing step to re-normalize things using the correct case. (Later, I found a stylesheet from Wendell Piez that makes this easy; unfortunately, I can't find it on the Web now. Wendell, it *is* on the Web, isn't it?)
