Indeed! From a CSS point of view there is no difference in principle
between styling of colors, borders, etc. and text-transform. For a
regular user it is.
Design Principles of HTML5 should apply:
"In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementors
over specifiers over theoretical purity"
(btw, there is a similar issue with generated content)
