Hello Dimitre,
Your ideas of fun and one-liner (?) are evidently different to mine.
:-)

If by "nicer" you'll accept "more compact", this is what I direct my
students to include at the top of their stylesheets:
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY lower 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'>
<!ENTITY upper 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'>
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
Then, in your stylesheet you would have:
<xsl:variable name="pClubCaps"
select="translate($pClub,'&lower;','&upper;')"/>
But as for functionality, translate() is all we have to work with in XSLT
1.0.
A good advice, Ken.
Just for fun, here is a "pure functional one-liner" implementation of
lower-case() using FXSL for XSLT 2.0: :o)
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:f="http://fxsl.sf.net/"
exclude-result-prefixes="f xs"
<xsl:import href="../f/func-map.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="../f/func-zipWith.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="../f/func-Operators.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="../f/func-standardXpathFunctions.xsl"/>
<!--
Expected result: "houston, we have a problem!"
-->
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:variable name="vcptA" select="string-to-codepoints('A')"/>
<xsl:variable name="vcptZ" select="string-to-codepoints('Z')"/>
<xsl:variable name="vcpta" select="string-to-codepoints('a')"/>
<xsl:variable name="vcptz" select="string-to-codepoints('z')"/>
<xsl:variable name="vtheCodepts"
select="string-to-codepoints('Houston, We have a problem!')"/>
<xsl:variable name="vOffset" select="$vcpta - $vcptA"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select=
"codepoints-to-string(
f:map(f:integer(),
f:zipWith(f:add(),
$vtheCodepts,
f:map(f:mult($vOffset),
f:map(f:number(),
f:zipWith(f:and(),
f:map(f:le($vcptA), $vtheCodepts),

"/>
