[xsl] Will every XSLT processor reduce upper-case('ß') to SS ?

Hi Folks,

Here is a common German surname: 

      Strauß

I used SAXON to convert the surname to uppercase:

    upper-case('Strauß')                        returns STRAUSS

Notice that ß was converted to SS.

According to Wikipedia [1] there is ambiguity about whether ß should be upcased 
to SS or S.

Will every XSLT processor reduce upper-case('ß') to SS or will some reduce 
upper-case('ß') to S?

In other words, is this a "processor-specific" functionality?
