Sorry if I was assuming too much knowledge.

If the data is in a variable named foo, write

<xsl:value-of select="
    concat(
      translate(substring($foo,1,1), "abcdefg.... ", "ABCDEFG..."),
      substring($foo, 2)
    )"/>

It probably makes sense to put the lower-case and upper-case alphabets in
global variables.
