The CSSWG discussed the effect of 'text-transform' on copy/pasted text last year:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2015Apr/0282.html
There wasn't broad agreement, but there were a few points brought up.
Pro-transform:
* Users could be surprised if they don't get the uppercasing/lowercasing
they see in the document.
Con-transform:
* Typographic choices like small-caps vs all-caps shouldn't impact content.
* The 'large-kana' transform is highly inappropriate to be preserved and
is semantically lossy.
* Leaving text-transform as a render-time effect allows both behaviors
(render-time using text-transform, or content-time by changing content).
One principle that was proposed is that CSS in general shouldn't affect
copy/paste operations except for
* generated content
* the 'display' property
The CSSWG asked me to solicit feedback from the Editing TF.
