A:
XSLT 2.0 has upper-case() and lower-case() functions. In case of XSLT 1.0, you can use translate():
translate("xslt", "abcdefghij...z", "ABCDEFGHIJ...Z")

A:
In XSLT 1.0 the upper-case() and lower-case() functions are not available.
If you're using a 1.0 stylesheet the common method of case conversion is translate():
<xsl:variable name="smallcase" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'" />
<xsl:variable name="uppercase" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(doc, $smallcase, $uppercase)" />
</xsl:template>

2 minutes too late. This is what I get for going into detail. :)

Is there a Unicode version? This solution is not going to work with funny characters...

For XSLT 1.0 you'd have to add more to the smallcase/uppercase variables or use an extension function.

If you decided not to use the extention function you might be able to make a complete list using the Unicode Character Database: http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UCD.html
