Nothing in the CSS spec says that > 'text-transform' should affect copy/paste. And probably it shouldn't. I agree with you, but as I recall from last time we had the conversation, most implementations do convert 'text-transform : uppercase' to all uppercase letters when copied. I know Safari does. I find it pretty annoying myself, but apparently most users are surprised when the all caps text they copied is not all caps when they paste it as plain text.
