Hi,
I just bought the O'Reilly XSLT Cookbook by Sal Mangano and he presents
a solution for converting non-ASCII characters into their
language-specific upper case versions (including "eszett"). You might
find the technique useful when trying to solve this particular problem
as well. I'd reprint it here, but I do believe that would be a
copyright violation (and I really like the book so i don't want to piss
off the author!)
You can check it out here: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/xsltckbk
Good luck,
Ted Stresen-Reuter

Hi,
For one thing, I don't really know which XSLT processor is really
efficient...
In our company, we use xalan-c++.
The binary version of xalan-c++ available for download on
http://xml.apache.org doesn't support language-specific xsl:sort, or
so it seems.
(e.g. german umlauts "ä", "ö", "ü" and so on always come out as the
last items...)
The java version of xalan is beyond all question because of its low
speed...
I tried to compile xalan-c++ with ICU enabled with linux i386.
Compiling ICU was not so much a problem, but compiling xalan with ICU
was.
So, my question is:
Are there any binary versions of xalan-c++ (or any other commerially
usable and fast XSLT-processor), which support sorting of
language-specific special characters?
Destination os would include linux-i386, win32 (windows 2000, NT4 and
XP) and solaris 2.6 and up.
Thanks for every hint in advance...
