In internationalization contexts, one often hears about the notion of dangerous characters . This is

To me, the NLS API function LCMapString has a full-time job, one that is crucial to the fundamental fabric...

On this capitalization note, I'd like you to know that I've created an Evil Small-Caps Test for browsers:

Unfortunately, the answer is the same there -- the API does not handle either of those cases. Certainly we have no way of supporting proper casing anyway, but we do not currently handle strings that would increase the size of the buffer....

If you need support like that, you have to build it yourself -- we are very low tech here. :-)

I think we're at cross purposes over the term "user".

I meant "user" as in someone who:
* Installs an application I write
* Puts text in a box
* Chooses Format | Case | UPPERCASE
* Thinks "Hmmm, no, I don't like that"
* Chooses Format | Case | lowercase
* Thinks "Hey, what happened to my capital D in Donald" or "Hey, what happened to my ß in straße" or ...
* Immediately calls me to inform me that my application corrupted their data

I probably shouldn't have used the word "user" - as an API writer, you probably hear "user" and think "application developer." I meant to say "end user". :)

Oh, I do slightly disagree that a user who is sophisticated enough to call an API is one who we would class as "naive" :-)

Replace imple with simple. :-)
