Absolutely not contrary to my expectations when I use this ! I'm using the CSS for *presentation-related* adaptation. I use text-transform to change the visual appearance - not the stored text. This enables me to achieve different capitalization styling for exactly the same HTML text by applying different style sheets. For example, one of my styles lowercases all the text in headings, but I *don't* want it to change the content while doing so. > It would be good if the CSS spec would specify cut/copy > clipboard behavior with respect to functions that change > text.
