Yes, of course. But there is something about God and Cesar. "Word",
"WORD", "word" are different styles of the same word, absolutely right
(after mr. Lukyanov) is to use here high-level markup (like CSS)
rather than realy transform the text using case mappings. But mW
(milliwatts) and MW (megawatts) are different words with different
meanings (1000000000x). This is where I offer low-level markup
(Unicode?), which is an integral part of the text, not style.
About a practical usage. Just look here
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Lowercase_title> to see how do
people suffer without the ability to manage case. (You can not see
this, this page is not available completely. N.B.: in search results,
insert link window etc. the "lowercase titles" of Wikipedia remain
uppercase).
