    I can imagine either a locale preference setting at the system level or
    at the application level (e.g. Word Options), enabling the user to
    decide whether to case ß to SS or the new uppercase Eszett character.

Perhaps the earliest widely-held theory for the
Tunguska explosion was that the world was about to
end. As the minutes passed, this theory was dropped
in favour of other, less final theories, until today
one is hard-pressed to find anyone who truly believes
the world ended on the morning of 30 June 1908.
