[lmi] Capitalize first letter of 'ContractName' with xsl

[Boutin, Wendy]

We have a new variable, 'ContractName', which is used in
'nasd.xsl'. It contains a text string with all lower case 
letters. I need to use that variable in certain places of 
the output where it begins a sentence, which means it needs 
a capitalized first letter. Is it possible that you could 
help reformat this variable in the xsl file?

I found and tried a few samples online, notably this one:
  
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9611569/xsl-how-do-you-capitalize-first-letter
, but was unsuccessful adapting it to my specific needs. I just
don't have enough experience to know what I'm missing. Here's
what I've done (among many other variations), but I'm sure you 
can see clearly what's wrong:
