xalan sorts in the following order: A, B, a, b, which in incorrect.
It should have been either A, a, B, b or a, A, b, B.

Here's a testcase:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <root>
    <item>c</item>
    <item>A</item>
    <item>B</item>
    <item>b</item>
    <item>a</item>
    <item>C</item>
    <upper-first>
      <xsl:for-each select="//item">
        <xsl:sort select="."
                  lang="en"
                  case-order="upper-first"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </upper-first>
    <lower-first>
      <xsl:for-each select="//item">
        <xsl:sort select="."
                  lang="en"
                  case-order="lower-first"/>
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </lower-first>
  </root>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I get:

$ xalan -xsl case-sort.xsl -in case-sort.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<item>c</item>
<item>A</item>
<item>B</item>
<item>b</item>
<item>a</item>
<item>C</item>
<upper-first>ABCabc</upper-first>
<lower-first>ABCabc</lower-first>
</root>

One should have:

  <upper-first>AaBbCc</upper-first>
  <lower-first>aAbBcC</lower-first>
