> As far as I can tell, not capitalizing the first letter after a dash > is the only inconsistency with Oracle's implementation of this function. Wrong again. Oracle also capitalizes the first letter after a comma, semicolon, colon, period, and both a single and double quote. (And that's all I've tested so far.) So, I guess I need to write a program to test all possible combinations to see how incompatible the function is. Making this change will be a larger patch than I had initially anticipated. That also brings into question whether this is really a bugfix or a specification change, a question which is relevant since we're in the feature freeze for 7.4. -- Mike Nolan
