The perlcode was doing this for display purposes, so it won't affect string comparisons and grouping of all case-variants into a single bucket. (Earlier, Diego also noted problems with the forced capitalisation, since CSS is unable to change the case -- lowercase or titlecase -- words that were capitalised by nature, as happens when List.pm outputs them that way.
