Comments on CSS (but not how-to questions) should be directed to
the www-style mailing list at w3.org, not unicode:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/
Keep in mind, however, that CSS only affects the presentation;
form data will be sent as it is actually entered whatever the
value of text-transform might be for the field.
You might want to take a look at the Web Forms 2.0 specification drafts.
A web browser could very well auto-correct input given in constrained
form fields.
