<h3 class="appendixsec">C.4 German Sharp S</h3>

<p>The German Sharp S or Eszett does not have an uppercase equivalent. 
Instead when `<samp><span class="samp">&szlig;</span></samp>' is converted to `<samp><span class="samp">SS</span></samp>'.  The conversion of
`<samp><span class="samp">&szlig;</span></samp>' to `<samp><span class="samp">SS</span></samp>' requires a special rule, and increases the
length of a word, thus disallowing inplace case conversion. 
Furthermore, my general rule of converting all words to lowercase before
looking them up in the dictionary won't work because the conversion of
`<samp><span class="samp">SS</span></samp>' to lowercase is ambiguous; it can be `<samp><span class="samp">ss</span></samp>' or
`<samp><span class="samp">&szlig;</span></samp>'.  I do plan on dealing with this eventually.
