           Summary: upper() and lower() fail in non-trivial cases
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 412+
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: HasReduction
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: ap at nypop.com


WebCore uppercases and lowercases strings character-by-character, which leads to multiple problems 
with non-ASCII strings. Firefox and Opera are no better at this, but that's probably not something that 
should be copied from them.

To be really advanced, WebCore should not just transform entire strings, but take the language into 
account (Turkish 'i' is the usual example here). However, with :lang being unimplemented (bug 3233), that 
probably has to wait.
