(missing the mode there: <xsl:apply-templates select="@*,node()" mode="lc"/>)

The other way of lowercasing everything (if you are using Java) is to
use an XMLFilter which sits between the XMLReader and the
TransformerHandler.

Using a two-passes in the XSLT is much easier, while the XMLFilter
approach would be preferable where performance is an issue.
