Return lower-cased value of a string.
fn:lower-case(xs:string $arg) => xs:string
This function returns the value of the string argument in lower case by
translating each character in its lower case equivalent on its own. If the
value of $arg is the empty sequence, the string of
length zero is returned.
Note that not every character has a lower case equivalent. Also, the case
mapping functions are not inverse to each other. This means that neither
upper-case(lower-case($arg)) nor
lower-case(upper-case($arg)) are guaranteed to yield
$arg.
