Upper-casing the first character of a string -- Am I missing some thing?

[Brian Young <Brian.Young@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I need to upper-case the first character of a string contained in my input XML prior to output.  I was wondering if there was a better way, this seems a bit clunky:

<xsl:value-of select="translate(substring(@name, 1, 1), 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')" />
<xsl:value-of select="substring(@name, 2, string-length(@name) - 1)" />

I don't need to worry about non-English characters, as this code is meant to convert a property name ("text") over to its corresponding accessor method name ("getText", "setText").  I do the "get" vs. "set" determination earlier.

Thanks,
   Brian Young
