The default collation for distinct-values() in XSLT is the Unicode codepoint
collation, so upper-case and lower-case are considered distinct. The names
(URIs) of other collations are implementation-defined. In Saxon you can get
a case-blind comparison using

distinct-values($input, 'http://saxon.sf.net/collation?ignore-case=yes')
