Thanks for the hint. I was rather looking for a better way to do it within
Liblouis to avoid pre-processing. which may not be portable and
transparent.
I was thinking perhaps case mapping was part of the script feature in
liblouis that we were talking about some time ago.
Also, thanks for the article. I didn't know that the UK switched that
early.
I am sure a similar suggestion would also divide the Danish Braille
community.

What you want to do is called Case Mapping. Unicode provides a text file
you could use as input to a method that handles the conversion.
http://unicode.org/faq/casemap_charprop.html
However, this capability is built into Java and I would assume other modern
languages. That is, there is a library function that turns an uppercase
letter into its lowercase counterpart and vice versa.
UK English braille used to have a rule similar to what you describe, caps
only used when essential. If there was an algorithm to automate this,
perhaps you could find info on that.
FYI, this a funny article about UK braille readers' reaction to the change.
