Googling for ``latex macro uppercase lowercase''

the ``I feel Lucky'' hit is:
http://www.it.ms.unimelb.edu.au/tex/help/faq/uktug-faq/texfaq_15.html

which has the following text:
``LaTeX provides commands \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase
   which fixes the latter problem. These commands are used
   in the standard classes to produce upper case running heads
   for chapters and sections.''

and explains its failings / weaknesses.

A more robust solution would be to use Omega and OTPs
