After the recent menu reorganization, change case commands are nested 3
levels deep in the Format/Text/Change case submenu. That is absolutely
inappropriate.

Not sure why moving it from 2 levels deep to 3 levels deep is considered
absolutely inappropriate, but here was my reasoning for doing so.

1) Space: There are over the recommended 20 items in the 1st level
2) Consolidation: Grouping all the character level effects under one menu (
Format > Text )

As there are only 12 entries in the Format > Text menu, the 5 entries from the
Change Case submenu could be moved up a level.

According to the OOo stats, Lowercase and Uppercase are the only entries in the
5 that are highly used, which is why both are now available, but hidden by
default, in the formatting toolbar.

As an aside, labeling of tthe .uno commands for changing case do need to be
normalized. And we look to need an .uno action for Small Capitals (available
in the dialog but not as a button action).

Change Case     Font Effects      .uno:Command
menu            dialog
Sentence case   (Without)         .uno:ChangeCaseToSentenceCase
lowercase       Lowercase         .uno:ChangeCaseToLower
UPPERCASE       Capitals          .uno:ChangeCaseToUpper          
Capitalize      Title             .uno:ChangeCaseToTitleCase         
   Every Word
tOGGLE cASE     not-provided      .uno:ChangeCaseToToggleCase
not-provided    Small capitals    --not defined chardlg.cxx/chardlg.hxx

The .uno:ChangeCaseToLower and .uno:ChangeCaseToUpper commands are permanent
case changes that affect the characters' ascii values, while the 'Capitals' and
'Lowercase' effects are character style level effects and dont have equivalent
uno commands to my knowledge.
