RE: [xsl] Testing for upper and lower case

["Houghton,Andrew" <houghtoa@xxxxxxxx>]

The regex is defined by XML Schema,
  see <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dt-ccescat>

\p{Ll} matches a Unicode lowercase character taking into account diacritics.
\p{lu} matches a Unicode uppercase character taking into account diacritics.
\p{lt} matches a Unicode titlecase character taking into account diacritics.

Hope that helps, Andy.
