Description nplatis 2005-09-05 09:19:28 UTC 
When converting some text to Small Caps or All Caps (via the corresponding
character formatting commands), Greek accented letters should be converted to
the respective non-accented uppercase letters. The required conversions are the
following (in Unicode):
ά -> Α
έ -> Ε
ή -> Η
ί -> Ι
Π-> Ϊ
ό -> Ο
Ï -> Î¥
ΰ -> Ϋ
ώ -> Ω

Also diphthongs (two-vowel constructs) should be converted as follows, when the
first vowel is accented:
άι -> ΑΪ
έι -> ΕΪ
όι -> ΟΪ
Ïι -> ΥΪ
άυ -> ΑΫ
έυ -> ΕΫ
ήυ -> ΗΫ
όυ -> ΟΫ

In the current implementation, this is not the case: Greek accented lowercase
letters are merely converted to the respective (accented) uppercase letters.

I should note that when converting some text to "Titling" (first letter of each
word capitalized) then the above does not hold, i.e. accented letters should be
converted to accented uppercase.

Is CLDR (http://www.unicode.org/cldr/) responsible for this functionality?

I see this as an ENHANCEMENT or FEATURE request:

May be someone from lingucomponent can help to find an expert?
